Is this only for 2 Sundays?

No, they are being very misleading in their argument. They are probably just talking about deer season, which is only a couple weeks.

But there are many other seasons for different animals. When you add them all up there are months that are impacted by hunting, not just the two weeks for deer. Most of fall and winter have some sort of hunting season open.

Deer season isn't only a couple weeks. It goes from Oct 4 to Dec 31. Then Jan 1st - crow and rabbit. And bobcat and coyote. Then Turkey and bobcat. Basically the only time that there isn't is the summer.

I guess I misread it, or maybe I was just looking at shotgun season for deer.

Either way, that's my point. No idea why they are acting like it's only two weeks, hunting impacts people doing outdoor activities for a significant portion of the year.
