The Sunday Hunting bill SB154 was passed by a 29 Y to 10 N vote.....
I just checked who the 10 that voted AGAINST it were.....and I was real surprised to see that 9 REPUBLICANS voted AGAINST IT.....
And I know a few of these guys say they are for FREEDOM and LIBERTY......
What a bunch of HYPOCRITES.......

I remember back in the day, family friends use to give me verbal permission to hunt their posted farms and there was never a problem. Game Wardens would come by and talk and to see if we'd had any luck that day. Man how times have changed.
I am really excited about this piece of legislation. We can't let our guard down until the Governor signs it though.

However, I'm proud to say that my senator voted for it and was one of the co-patrons! Thanks to Republican Senator Bill Stanley for standing up for property rights and the working man!

Passed 2nd reading in the Senate. If it passes on more reading, hopefully tomorrow, it is on to the Governor. There is rumor that the VaHDA in conjunction with HSUS hiking, horse groups and several others will try a last ditch effort either tomorrow or with the Governor. Kirby Burch and VaHDA will stop at nothing or align with anyone to stop this. Please let you Senator and the Governor's office know where you stand.

Barring some twisted, "back room shenanigans", Virginia looks to FINALLY have Sunday hunting!!!
