    Didnt used to be that way. Literally Viewd as a day of rest.
    taken from http://www.donmeredith.ca/article-sunday-hunting.php
    sums it up pretty well, this is just an excerpt

    "In those early years, no Sunday hunting most likely had a large religious component. The majority of residents were Christians who respected the various churches' designation of Sunday being a day of rest and worship. Even if a person wasn't a regular church goer, he or she most likely appreciated the day off, even if it did not involve hunting. Since that time, attitudes have become more liberal. Instead of working six days a week, most of us work five. Churches don't have the power over society they once had. Indeed, the immigration of non-Christians into our society has forced secular governments to consider the needs of other religions who may not consider Sunday a holy day. Many workers do not work a "standard" workweek, and may take their time off in the middle of the week. As a result, Sunday is just another day of the week to many people, including people from Christian backgrounds."
