Top NC court will not take Sunday hunting case
The North Carolina Supreme Court will not take a case involving a challenge to North Carolina’s restrictions on Sunday hunting.
State government lawyers are asking the North Carolina Supreme Court to reject an appeal in a recent case upholding government restrictions on Sunday hunting. Plaintiff Tim Oates is asking the state’s high court to overturn a unanimous April 16 decision from the state Court of Appeals. Appellate judges agreed that the laws governing Sunday hunting comply with the North Carolina Constitution.
The North Carolina Court of Appeals has upheld the state’s restrictions on Sunday hunting. The unanimous decision Wednesday from a three-judge appellate panel rejected a plaintiff’s argument that Sunday hunting restrictions are unconstitutional.
