I'm already gone (Thank God since I hated that place!) and VA isn't a state, it is a Commonwealth which is one of the reasons it has such screwy laws in the first place. While I will never hunt VA again, because other states have much better hunting and less regulation, I still have concern for those that are being discriminated against by VA. Do you?
Until it is passed on a statewide basis it is a flawed law! I realize you don't care because you have private land to hunt but what about those that don't? Do you care about them or does your concern stop at your own door? What about all the members of the military that are in VA? How many of them do you think have access to private land that will allow them to hunt on Sunday? Have you extended an invitation to any so they can hunt on Sunday on the same property you hunt? I'm willing to bet a month's retirement check that you haven't. You will get yours and don't care if others can get theirs.
Have fun hunting in VA this fall. I'll kill more game and do it under less regulation where I am than you will in the Old Dominion. And when the old powers figure out a way to remove Sunday hunting again because it isn't a statewide law, who will you cry to? They are already trying to figure out a way to do it and it is only a matter of time before they come up with a plan and push it through. Allowing it statewide is the only way to prevent that but you're too narrow minded to see that. Hunters will be divided because many will not benefit from the law as it stands now. If it comes to a statewide vote, why would they support Sunday hunting is they can't participate? Bottom line, they won't.
As I have said many times, it is a good start, but it needs to go statewide. You obviously don't agree because the only hunter you're concerned about is yourself and for that reason I find you contemptible.
