Comments
Why should anybody else care or say in what I do on my on property if it is an activity that is legal and safe the other 6 days of the week.
Give ALL Virginians the freedom and liberty to choose what we do with our Sunday on our own property. There is no actual ban on Sunday hunting, just some who are allowed and some who aren't.

Thank you Mr Ramadan for all your efforts. All these bills get killed by the Religious Right, its an old blue law. They all fail in the Agricultural Committee ruled by Lee Ware and never even get a floor vote. Va is the last Southern State to Ban Sunday Hunting, has the highest hunter attrition rate in the nation,is #6 in deer related auto crashes and has no deer management plan. This is also a major public health issue. Loudon County has one of the highest Lyme Disease rates in the nation. Virginians need to contact Delegates and Senators statewide to demand action!
