Fellow VA hunters, I wanted to pass along a few bills that have been introduced this year concerning Sunday hunting. Have only been able to find one on the House side but there are 4 on the Senate side.
From the House:
HB 369, by Del. Michael Webert, Would allow hunting on Sunday on private lands.
From the Senate:
SB 151, by Sen. Phillip Puckett, Would allow hunting on Sundays.
SB 173, by Sen. Chap Petersen, Would allow landowners and people with a landowners written permission to hunt on Sunday.
SB 464, by Sen. Ralph Northam, Would allow hunting on Sunday.
SB 512, by Sen. Frank Wagner, Would allow anyone who obtains a hunting license to hunt on Sunday.
The above are just very short and generalized descriptions of the bills. I urge all to go to the Virginia LIS website at
http://leg1.state.va.us/lis.htm for more information and to keep track of these bills and others.
As a side note for gun owners, on the Senate side there are at least 2 bills that would provide for a "castle doctrine."
