On the floor of the House several members, including Delegate Ransone,
tried to make a floor amendment to the bill to make Sunday Hunting a local
option. Unfortunately, there was not enough support for the amendment and
it did not go through. The bill was subsequently voted on and passed and is
now headed to the Senate.
Delegate Ransone is now going to try and work with the Senate Committee on
Agriculture to try and stop the bill from becoming law.
If you are able to please email the Senate Agriculture Committee Members,
and ask your friends and family to also email your/their position on the
bill I have below listed their email addresses for you.
Sincerely,
Ross Snare
Legislative Aide

"Please oppose the Sunday hunting bills HB1250 and SB154/HB1237.Sundays
provide one day per week when outdoor enthusiasts can pursue their activity
without concern for hunting hazards, especially if children accompany them.
Sunday hunting would interfere with winter citizen-science-based bird
surveys - including the annual Christmas Bird Count, North America's oldest
and most extensive citizen-science project. Many Christmas Bird Count
surveys in Virginia currently take place on Sundays, including on and
around private properties, specifically because hunting does not take place
on that day. This ensures the safety of the participants and allows the
most thorough counts possible." Thank you. Lee Adams
