[va-bird] Re: Hunting at Dyke Marsh

I think you need to read the material a little more carefully. In your 
cut-and-paste you omitted important clarification: 
"Sec. 2.2  Wildlife protection.

    (a) The following are prohibited:
    (1) The taking of wildlife, except by authorized hunting and 
trapping activities conducted in accordance with paragraph (b) of this 
section.
    (2) The feeding, touching, teasing, frightening or intentional 
disturbing of wildlife nesting, breeding or other activities.
    (3) Possessing unlawfully taken wildlife or portions thereof.
    (b) Hunting and trapping. (1) Hunting shall be allowed in park 
areas 
where such activity is specifically mandated by Federal statutory law."
    
Also:
"In the area adjacent to the National Park Service lands in the Great 
Hunting Creek and Dyke Marsh areas floating blinds must be attached to a 
Game Department-placed post or buoy. Only one floating blind per post. These 
are on a first-come, first-served basis, sites to be occupied no earlier 
than 4 a.m. or later than one half-hour after sunset, and blinds removed each 
day. Hunters in licensed floating blinds can hunt from designated locations 
during legal shooting hours on Thanksgiving Day and on Mondays, Wednesdays 
and Fridays during the open season. (VR325-02-17 20)"

Apparently hunting IS legal there.

You don't have a right to hunt where it's not allowed. If Dyke Marsh is IN 
National Park Service land, you don't have a right to hunt THERE.

They ( me) have a legal right to hunt. Hunting fees help save wetlands.
