If you live in Va please write your Representatives to show support for removing the ban on Sunday Hunting.
We can sit and watch or we can let our voices be heard. The VDGIF came out in support of Sunday hunting after last years General Assembly session was over. I spoke with a couple legislators last year and they felt the VDGIF needed to take a stronger stand....either support it or not. Well now they finally have.
The NRA published an article in their American Rifleman/Hunter magazines in late 2011 that explained the fight Virginia and a couple
other states were having concerning this issue.
It will be an uphill battle but it is gaining support. More and more legislators are introducing bills and saying they would be willing to support Sunday hunting outright or with some restrictions. As you said, contact your legislators and urge others you know to make calls as well.
