An Act To Preserve Maine'S Sporting Heritage And Enhance Sporting Opportunities For Maine'S Youth By Allowing Maine'S Youth To Hunt On Sunday

LD 439 allows Maine youth with valid junior hunting licenses or under-18 students enrolled in secondary school who hold valid hunting licenses to hunt wild animals and birds on Sundays. The bill amends existing law to permit Sunday hunting for these specific groups while maintaining all other hunting rules and requirements. It also clarifies that carrying hunting equipment on Sundays (when not actively hunting) does not violate the law if properly secured in a case, wrapped, or carried in separate non-firing pieces. This directly affects young hunters and their supervisors under the specified license and age conditions.
