The Maryland legislature has passed a bill to permit limited Sunday hunting.
House Bill 679, sponsored by Rep. Boutin (R-Harford) will permit Sunday deer hunting on private property with written permission from the landowner. The bill also increases penalties for trespassing. House Bill 679 passed the House by a vote of 87 to 41 and in the Senate by a vote of 33 to 11.
It does not allow Sunday hunting on public land.
The bill now awaits Governor Ehrlich’s signature.
The U.S. Sportsmen’s Alliance worked with the Maryland Sportsmen’s Association and other conservation groups to urge thousands of sportsmen statewide to contact their state legislators in support of the measure.
House Bill 679 will provide an additional day in the field for Maryland sportsmen, many of whom work during the week and on Saturdays. Currently, 35 states permit Sunday hunting without restrictions and eight states allow it under special restrictions.
