RE: Virginia affirms Sunday bowhunt ban
I could halfway see the argument about setting aside Sunday as a no hunting day on public lands----but I would still argue that the folks that hunt that public land have a right to it from not only paying state taxes, but also paying large fees for hunting/fishing licenses. The people who walk and jog/horseride on public lands pay nothing in fees, but us Virginians who hunt/fish are paying between $40-$60 to hunt/fish on a yearly basis.
Now on Private land, I don't see any legal reason to not allow it, other than the state trying to protect itself by not opening a crack in the law, where as once a precedent of Sunday hunting is allowed on private land, that now public land Sunday hunting would have more backing.
