Because when it comes to Sunday Hunting Virginia is Backasswards ...like VAhuntr said " old blue laws "..... But you can buy beer....wine or whiskey on Sunday...and you can shop all over the state in every mall......and you can fish or go hiking or horseback riding in the forest...WMA's or State Parks on Sunday....you can even go and shoot your bow or gun on Sunday....BUT NO DEER HUNTING on SUNDAY.....and the people that make the rules are mostly voted in by the guys who run dogs....and most dog hunters ( not all ) don't want Sunday Hunting so it's " if you want our vote ...you vote NO on Sunday Hunting and you can keep your seat on the board".....kinda the good old boy network here in VA....
Virginia need to stop living in the past...and move into the 21st century and Let the hunters in Virginia have Sunday Hunting.....
