2006 Virginia Sunday hunting petition!
 

Hey there....

Well I did it! I just created a new 2006 petition for Sunday hunting in Virginia. I went through all the screens on "petitiononline" and got it all created. My daughter and a friend of hers from college helped me with the paragraphs and wording.

Take the link below and spread it all over the place like wildfire. The more signatures, the better!!! :D

Great initiative by starting the petition.

Hope your elected officials hear your voices.

I am an out of stater that pays dearly to hunt in VA (where I was born and raised).
The season is short enough and it would be a blessing to spenda couple ofextra days in the woods.

Just wondering, I've heard of this, but, have not researched it well enough to make an educated decision.Are there any stipulations to being able to hunt on Sunday? (i.e. shorter Season, less tags, etc) Don't get me wrong, I think we need to catch up with the Western States......as long as it doesn't interfere with anything else about the VA Hunting Season. What kind of spin(remember, we're talking about politicians making decisions for hunters andwhether they hunt or not is not a factor when the issue gets raised when they're in session)could the G.A. put on this bill. If it only has to do with being able to hunt on Sunday period.........I'm all about it.

Well, from what I've heard (i.e. a little birdie told me) or the ol' "know someone who knows someone"... There's a few variations of spin getting thrown around:

1) Open up Sunday hunting on private land only.
2) Partially open up Sunday hunting on private land, but only after 12:00 noon.
3) Partially open up Sunday hunting to only the first Sunday of archery, the first Sunday of muzzleloader, and the first Sunday of rifle (general firearms).

Like I said, it's just all talk.... So who knows.... :eek:

Has anyone considered litigation??

Maybe we could put together some funds and hire an attorney - heck, I might even do it for costs.

Between the clear (to me) first amendment seperatino of church and state issues driving the ban in Virginia and the recently passed Constitutional Right to Hunt, it strikes me as a pretty good shot at opening up Sunday . . . might even be able to put together enough of a threat that the state acts sooner rather than later.
