Governor Tim Kaine (D) has signed into law two bills that will increase opportunities for Virginia hunters.
House Bill 1016, sponsored by Delegate Tim Hugo (R-40) allows the baiting of deer in certain areas, and House Bill 1175, sponsored by Delegate Scott Lingamfelter (R-31), establishes an apprentice hunter license, therefore allowing novice and first time hunters to join experienced licensed hunters in the field in order to experience first-hand Virginia’s proud hunting heritage. The apprentice hunter program is part of the “Families Afield” initiative -- an ongoing collaborative effort among NRA, The National Wild Turkey Federation, U.S. Sportsmen’s Alliance and the National Sport Shooting Foundation.
Please contact the Governor today at (804) 786-2211 and thank him for singing HB1016 and HB1175 into law.
