HB 28 Squirrels; hunting in Floyd County.
Introduced by: R. Steven Landes | all patrons ... notes | add to my profiles
SUMMARY AS INTRODUCED:
Squirrel-hunting season. Repeals a 1952 Act of Assembly mandating that squirrel-hunting season in Floyd County could not begin before September 15 of each year. This act is obsolete because §§ 29.1-501 and 29.1-502 empower the Board of Game and Inland Fisheries to adopt regulations pertaining to the hunting and taking of wild animals and freshwater fish. The Board has adopted a specific regulation that makes it unlawful to hunt squirrel from the first Saturday in September through January 31 of each year.
