Introduced by: R. Steven Landes | all patrons    ...    notes | add to my profiles

SUMMARY AS PASSED HOUSE: (all summaries)

Hunting of wild turkeys. Repeals the 1954 Act of Assembly that establishes a season for hunting wild male turkeys in Pittsylvania County. The 1954 act also prohibited the hunting, capturing or killing of wild turkey hens. This Act of Assembly is obsolete since the Code of Virginia empowers the Board of Game and Inland Fisheries to promulgate regulations pertaining to the hunting of any wild animals or freshwater fish. The turkey season and bag limits are currently set by regulation. This bill is a recommendation of the Code Commission.
