The Law
For over a century, Virginia had strict 'blue laws' that prohibited hunting on Sundays so citizens would attend church instead. Raccoons were famously exempt from the ban because they are nocturnal, meaning hunting them required entirely different hours. While recently relaxed for private lands, the old Sunday restrictions still govern many public spaces.
