The VDGIF doesn' t make these rules. The virginia state legislature makes this type of law. There are many a legislator in virginia that don' t agree with the huntign community at all. These individuals routinely vote down bills like this. If you look back over the years there have been several measures presented to overturn the BLUE LAW that prevents you from hunting on Sunday (the ONLY recreational activity you are not allowed to do on Sunday). I read all these comments and opinions as to why you would not want hunting on Sunday but they hold no weight. The animals get their rest. They actually get it during the week when most folks are at work and there are very few afield. If that is not the case then all you fishermen ought not to fish on Sunday either. Don' t you think the fish need a break also? Sunday hunting has worked in 43 states, what is it that they have that we don' t. I cna tell you the states that don' t have sunday hunting are al on the eastern seaboard and were members of the original 13 colonys. This law is so out dated it' s not even funny. We hunters are the only community singled out and told what we can and can' t do on Sunday.
