Sunday hunting begins this weekend in West
Virginia, and it looks like the practice is here to
stay.
House Minority Leader Charles Trump says an
effort to change a new law that allows Sunday
hunting in all 55 counties has been dropped for
lack of interest.
A legislative committee considered alternatives to
Sunday hunting, but Trump says those ideas
didn't go anywhere.
The Legislature passed the law earlier this year.
Lawmakers say they intended to permit Sunday
hunting only in counties where voters approved it
in a referendum. The state Division of Natural
Resources takes an opposite view.
DNR officials say they interpret the law to
allow Sunday hunting unless voters in a county
reject it.
Archery seasons for deer, bear and wild boar
begin Saturday. Turkey season begins October
20.
