"Im with you on religion. I am born and raised southern baptist. I dont go to church anymore, but do have stronger beliefs than most. My choice to not go to church is personal and deals with hypocrits and church politics that take away from the purpose to begin with. Our country was founded as a Christian country and it turns my stomach to hear the happy holidays bs. But, on the other hand, our constitution also allows for freedom of religion. Im not about to try and tell someone what they can and cant do on that issue. Mostly because I think if we compromise one article, that will leave the rest vulnerable."
Take out southern Baptist and insert Anglican and it pretty much applies to me. I might ad that it is not the 1700's any more. Hunting is now recreation or sport for the vast majority and I do not know anyone that calls it work.
We may not like the way Christianity has been put on the backburner in the various states and provinces.....but as you pointed out freedom of religion is in your constitution and it certainly applies in Canada as well. I was disturbed when they took the Lords Prayer out of the schools in the morning. Regardless of these issues, not allowing hunting on Sunday is not acceptable in this day and age.
Private land and access issues, along with the BLM land issues are not special to VA by any means or the United States for that matter. The issues are similar in many countries for hunters.
And no there is no fear of my traveling to VA from Canada to hunt either.
