I usually try not to comment on faith because its so personal. But I do not quiet understand why going hunting and going to Church is 'one or the other'. I mean you are not required to be in church ALL DAY or JUST ONLY go to church. Or even a time requirement, I mean the chapel on military bases offer different time for services based on your denomination 1000 is Catholic, 1100 is Lutherans, etc etc. I'm not trying to be funny or smartass. Just do not see why you can't do both go to church and other activities which include hunting as long it is consider a 'rest' activity. If the argument is spending time with the whole family, I can understand that. My family like to go do things together after services, sometime picnic or a movie (pre COVID). But what if we want to do that in the wood hunting? What about fishing, is that not basically hunting for fish? Bow fishing?
Oh yeah, yes I am a weekend wannabe. I usually only hunt on a few weekend, a rare weekday if I plan it well and wife pick up the responsibility that is mine. Sunday would double my availability so I am for it.
