I am writing to express my support for House Bills HD 95, HD 427, and HD 2292, currently under consideration in the Massachusetts legislature. These bills represent an important step toward modernizing outdated hunting laws by lifting the long-standing restrictions on Sunday hunting. As a dedicated advocate for wildlife conservation and responsible hunting practices, I urge you to support these bills and give Massachusetts hunters the opportunity to participate more fully in this time-honored tradition.

Massachusetts is one of the few states that still enforces strict Sunday hunting bans, limiting accessibility for many hunters who have work or family commitments during the week. Allowing Sunday hunting would increase participation, encourage families to spend more time outdoors, and ensure that conservation efforts continue to be supported through hunting license sales and fees.

In addition to expanding access, Sunday hunting plays a crucial role in effective wildlife management. Regulated hunting helps maintain healthy deer populations, reduces the risk of overpopulation, and mitigates negative impacts on habitat and local communities. Furthermore, increasing hunting opportunities contributes to local economies by driving outdoor recreation spending in rural areas.

As your constituent, I ask you to support HD 95, HD 427, and HD 2292. By lifting the Sunday hunting restrictions, Massachusetts can align with neighboring states that have already recognized the benefits of expanding hunting access for conservation and economic growth.

Thank you for your time and consideration. I urge you to vote in favor of these bills to support Massachusetts hunters and the future of wildlife conservation in our state.
