To think that this has come as far as it has is honestly unbelievable, and to think that this bill is here to satisfy just a handful of people is even more so. Passing this bill will make allot of honest people look like criminals. I've talked to hundreds of people across the state that hunt with hounds and most was not even aware of this proposal. I hunt with a hunting club in southern virginia and we lease, and or have permission on a few thousand acres, We allso hunt around thousands of acres of privately owned land and we have little to no issues with them. We all get along and have an understanding with each other, it's just a handful of people across the state that do not have the understanding I just spoke of compared to the people that do and that is why we are here now. I understand we need to police our own people because we do have a few bad apples just as any large group would, but the other 90% are hard working honest people that mean absolutely no harm and do there best to keep the peace and be respectful. it is sad that it has come this far
