The listserve moderator has already directed that we end this hunting thread,
so I think we should honor his wishes.

Subject: Re: [Va-bird] Sunday Hunting
The only problem with that is that we're I live most hunting is also done on
federal land and it would only be a matter of a year or two before they would
allow that and then I would drop my Christmas Bird Count and Sunday afternoons
is the only time I would go to my favorite birding places during hunting season
They have six days at least allow me to have one

Since the anti-hunting side has already weighed in on this issue on va-bird
I believe it is appropriate for me to express the other side. I am 79
years old and have lived and hunted in ten States since my early childhood on
an Illinois farm. I have also bird watched in those and several additional
States. Of those, only Virginia has prohibited hunting on Sunday. The
arguments put forth to continue this archaic practice are simply without
merit. In all my years I have never observed any of the conflicts I hear
the other side.
The current legislation moving through the Virginia legislature is limited
to private land with landowners written permission as opposed to statewide
hunting on both private and public land on those other States that I am
familiar with. It's only fair that Virginia takes this limited step to
shed
