I can see the argument from both sides.

To add to Dave's comment according to a 2007 letter by the NS federation of
Anglers and Hunters Tony Rodgers, in the Nova Outdoors magazine no
non-hunting person has been killed or injured in a hunting accident (not to
say it couldn't happen).

It sounds like most of the arguments are centered towards humans enjoying
recreation in the woods on Sundays, as opposed to giving animals Sunday to
rest. I agree that hearing gun-shots while out walking in the woods, can be
a little unnerving though it's unlikely you're in danger, especially if
you're wearing orange.

If the noise and disturbance factor is the main issue, perhaps the season
should be open for bow-hunting. In the same letter Tony Rodgers suggests
opening up Sunday hunting for bow-hunters. No noise, reduced range of harm,
and better safety record than firearms.

Perhaps allowing bow-hunting on Sundays could be a reasonable compromise.
