Both the Senate and the House of Representatives overwhelmingly approved the legislation, and it was supported by many in-state and national conservation partners as well.
According to Congressional Sportsmen's Foundation (CSF) Mid-Atlantic Coordinator, Brett Stayton, expanded Sunday hunting opportunities should also positively impact hunter recruitment, retention, and reactivation efforts in the state. "With many of the state's hunters working Monday through Friday and many families participating in extracurricular activities like youth sports and other interests on Saturdays, opening up Sundays to deer hunting throughout the season creates additional opportunities for hunters to participate during the hunting season and to share in those traditions with their friends and family," said Stayton.

Prohibitions on Sunday hunting are old blue laws left on the books in just a handful of states. They deny hunters access one day per week despite the fact that each year, hunters pump millions of dollars into habitat restoration and conservation through Pittman-Robertson funds.
