EFFECT OF PROCLAMATION ON HUNTING SEASON (§ 10.1-1160)

When any proclamation is issued pursuant to § 10.1-1158 during any open hunting
season (with the exception of any season on migratory birds or waterfowl, the
limits of which are prescribed by any agency of the federal government), or when
the opening date of any such hunting season occurs while such proclamation is
effective, the season, if open, may be extended by the Governor for a period not
exceeding the number of legal hunting days during which such proclamation is in
effect, beginning on the first legal hunting day after the expiration of the
season. If the season is not open, it may open beginning on the first legal
hunting day after such proclamation is rescinded and remain open for a period
not exceeding the prescribed length of the season.
