Bob Mumford wrote me and indicated that virtually no hunting is allowed in 
Maryland on Sundays.  I had thought that as well, but before sending my 
message, I had scoured the DNR website for discussion of this issue to no 
avail.  After receiving Bob's message, I searched for "Sunday Hunting" and 
picked up the following buried in the proposed DNR 2008-2009 season 
regulations: "DNR has supported a repeal of Maryland's Sunday hunting laws. 
However, current Maryland law prohibits DNR from amending Sunday hunting 
restrictions through the regulatory process and without approval from the 
Maryland Legislature".  So I guess we are still safe to go afield on 
Sundays.
