I Oppose This Bill
 

I oppose this bill. Hunting with hounds has been a long standing tradition in this state. If you were to mandate this trespass bill and force all hunters who run dogs to use the GPS/shock collar, you are creating cruelty to a hound dog that is doing something that it is breed to do and loves to do. I ask that you think of the dogs and the young hunters that enjoy this sport and oppose this bill.
