Oppose GPS regulation
 

This places a costly burden on those hunters that cannot afford the new technology which changes annually and requires computer support to remain operational. It also does not work as is being suggested. The dog hunter does not shock a dog off of a deer being pursued to stop the hunt as this would train the dog to not chase the game intended.
