I was very happy when the law passed a while back that allowed Sunday hunting on private land, but honestly with some of the public land, especially those WMAs near populated areas, I can see the argument for keeping one day out of the weekend to be no hunting. A fair amount of these areas are multi-use and even as a hunter myself, I won't go near some tracts on a Saturday because they are a shooting gallery for knuckleads. The last time I did, I was sitting in what I thought was a decent area at the base of a tree. I saw some movement and took a look with my binocs. Turns out it was another hunter and he was looking at me. Through his rifle scope.
Many Virginia counties have a muzzleloader/general firearms season that runs about two months.
