As a landowner who allows friends to hunt, I nevertheless appreciate having one day a week when I can inspect the grounds without needing to wear blaze orange.
A lot of churches in these parts abut wooded areas too.

"No hunting on Sundays? Never heard of it here out west - unbelievable."
Its a remnant of the infamous "Blue Laws" enacted here in Pennsylvania many years ago. All of these laws revolved around morality and setting aside Sunday as the Christian sabbath day. For instance, the reason that the Steelers and Eagles both joined the NFL in 1933 is because that was the first year they repealed the blue law forbidding professional sports being played on Sundays. Some other blue laws still around, you can't have car dealerships open on Sundays or Beer distribitorships.
