Not trying to argue or start anything here cause this doesnt have anything to do with sunday hunting. But, Let your dogs run at night? Apparently you dont dog hunt or know anyone that does. I'm not 100% on this, but probably very very close. I dont think any deer dog owner can say they have hunted a day and have never had a dog stay out all night. It's definitely not what a owner wants, but you cant just yell and tell a dog to quit running the deer. That's what they are trained to do. I have seen dogs run for a couple days straight. Dogs chase the deer and the deer runs for its life, neither can read property signs or tell what property they are on. Thats an issue that will never ever get fixed. I also hate it when im still hunting and this happens, but nothing you can really do about it. Unless you move to a county or state where hunting with dogs is not allowed. It will never be banned here in VA. You can be on a couple thousand acres and its gonna happen, it doesnt take long for a couple hounds to run a deer a mile or so.

Ok, sunday hunting. The way I see this is sunday hunting issue, if you can fish and shoot weapons on sundays, why cant you hunt? I would love to be able to take my son with me more than just on a saturday. He just got a new crossbow and cant wait for bow season. It would be perfect for him to be able to hunt all weekend and learn the tradition.
