Here is a copy of the E-Mail I sent to these folks.
Hunting occurs on public lands such as Wildlife Management Areas. These lands
have multiple uses, including hiking, birding, fishing, and so on. I visit
them often for these purposes. During hunting season, I am personally very
wary of entering any area where hunting is allowed (with or without blaze
orange), for fear of being shot. There have been numerous incidences of
hunters killing members of their own group, so this fear would appear to be
warranted. I believe that it is reasonable to allow hunting 6 days out of the
week, while reserving the 7th day for other uses. Otherwise, public lands
would essentially be off-limits during hunting season for folks who do not want
to risk the chance of being mistaken for a deer in the brush. While I am in no
way opposed to hunting, I believe it is important to allow non-hunters to enjoy
our public lands during these times, if only for one day of the week. Please
kill this bill.

You can respond on line, and leave a comment on the web page. I don't know
howmuch good that does, but at least it is one way to respond.

I think it should not go unanswered.

Maybe someone who has a previous contact with Andy can fill him in on why
birders oppose Sunday hunting. I read it pretty carefully and didn't see
anything about that in the article.

WANTED: Good home for a couple dozen Pine Siskins. Respect for birds
required, plus adequate financial support due to their ravenous appetite, and
their preference for only the most expensive seeds.
By-the-way, read Andy Thompson's column on Sunday Hunting in today's sport
section of the Richmond Times Dispatch.
