BERLIN – Two bills to expand Sunday hunting are moving forward at the state level.
Hearings were held last week in front of the Maryland House Environment and Transportation Committee regarding House Bill 466 and 467. The bills, introduced by Del. Charles Otto, would expand Sunday hunting in Worcester County.
“This is our way of life here on the shore,” Worcester County Commissioner Caryn Abbott testified during the hearing. “In our rural communities, our families use this time to build their freezers for the winter as well as help other neighbors.”
Otto said HB 466 would add Worcester County to a list of several other counties that allow Sunday hunting in certain conditions.
“It’s for game birds and mammals,” he said. “It doesn’t affect waterfowl.”
Only if you eat it.
No one needs to hunt on Sundays
