Default RE: WV season starting on Saturday?

No other hunting issues are voted on, so why Sunday hunting? You have any idea?
No, I don't Pro Line and I wish I did know. I only know that the last governor (Gov Wise) passed the law that lifted the Sunday hunting restriction statewide. As the article said--that was in 2002. After that, individual counties added referendums to general election ballots to vote yes or know in THAT county only. And again, looks like all that made an issue out of it, had it pass(a County wide restriction on Sunday hunting that is).

A few counties are still under the state wide "lift" of the restriction because those particular county fathers never put it on the ballot.

Now, I'm not sure if the "opposition" to the initial statewide "lift' of the restriction was so vehement that most counties found it neccesary for a vote, or, if somehow it was just a radical few crazy and ignorant people who influenced county commisions and later the voters (whose ignorance, imo and hysteria seemed to prove an easy target)--I suspect the latter. It obviously was not a provision of the bill to have mandatory county votes (since not all have voted on it--thankfully)
