Strongly Oppose
 

I have just started running deer/fox/coyote dogs and also running coon dogs within the last 2 years. This has been a tradition in my family long since before i was born. Both sides of my family have been hunting with dogs. This has been the most challenging year for dog hunters, we have been hit with multiple bills to remove this right to dog huntimg and now we are fighting to just be able to keep our hunting dogs! I live for running my dogs weather it be night or day in the pens. I strongly oppose and DO NOT support this bill!
