You can hunt in the afternoon in the month of May, and I do so. You cannot hunt in the afternoon the first month as to not disturb the hens nesting, which is a completely logical reason. As for hunting the Friday before the second Saturday, no, the season is not open but you can bet if it were I would be hunting. I am saying the VDGIF should be the ones deciding what is best for the game population and not some House or Senate Committee in Richmond that are clueless and are trying to score some PC points. I can see we will have to agree to disagree on this topic as I haven't changed your opinion and you will not be able to change my opinion.

My only opinion is that I think we hunters tend to rub some folks the wrong way on this topic, and ought to be careful claiming a right to Sunday hunting.

SB464 to be heard tomorrow in Richmond by sub-commitee ..

This is from an email I got.. I cut out most of the opinions.. just posting the facts..
