All -- Delegate Marshall plans to withdraw his bill as soon as the 2007
session convenes.   This issue is dead - again -- in the General
Assembly.

VA-Birders,

Is everyone aware that HB 1639, if passed, would allow hunting on Sunday
only from noon to one-half hour after sunset? Not that I'm happy about
any hunting on Sunday, but at least it keeps the morning safe for
birders and other passive users of wildlife refuges and wildlife
management areas.

Here is the relevant section from the bill:

> A. The following shall be unlawful:
>
> 1. To hunt or kill any wild bird or wild animal, including any 
> nuisance species, with a gun, firearm or other weapon before noon or 
> later than one-half hour after sunset on Sunday, which is hereby 
> declared a rest day for all species of wild bird and wild animal life,

> except raccoons, which may be hunted until 2:00 a.m. on Sunday 
> mornings.
Poor raccoons. Sounds like they don't have a lobby.
