Cball...farmers and landowners don't have to let people hunt on Sundays. It's their perogative. You may say that people will hunt on the farmers land anyway(W/O permission). Well, they need to call the law...plain and simple. I'm sick of hearing the landowners complain about voilators and the CO's complain about nobody reporting violators.

Gobbler...I know you can hunt on Sunday now.
Rep. Kiss proposed this bill which sounds to be doing well in the house. It's lengthy...but basically says that if it passes, the county will have to vote Sunday hunting IN...instead of OUT. So, if this bill passes after May, Sunday hunting WILL NOT be legal this fall...there's no time for an election.

Here's the bill.

H. B. 4142

(By Mr. Speaker, Mr. Kiss, (By Request))
[Introduced January 24, 2002; referred to the
Committee on Agriculture and Natural Resources then the Judiciary.]



A BILL to amend and reenact section five, article two, chapter twenty of the code of West Virginia, one thousand nine hundred thirty-one, as amended, relating to requiring a local option election on the issue of whether Sunday hunting should be permitted upon private lands in the county with the written consent of the landowner and providing that there shall be no Sunday hunting permitted upon private lands in the county with the written consent of the landowner unless and until the same is approved by a local option election.
Be it enacted by the Legislature of West Virginia:
That section five, article two, chapter twenty of the code of West Virginia, one thousand nine hundred thirty-one, as amended, be amended and reenacted to read as follows:


The rest just goes on to state other hunting laws that are already in effect.

In a nutshell, they are sneaking this one past just like the one last year was. Inform everybody you know...and call your rep.
