Dog trespassing
 

I oppose the dog trespassing regulation proposal ,that the game commission is proposing. I just want to go on record and say the game commission board is not set up for dog hunters.Half the state dog hunts and half still hunts. There is one part time dog hunter on the board . The rest either does not hunt or still hunts. we have no representation for dog hunters for half the state, that dog hunts. We have no one on the board to advocates for the dog hunters,I blame that on our governor ,the board is one sided .They have done studies and found there may be some a hotspot problem that need dealing with but overall dog hunting is not a problem. I ,along with most other dog hunters voted for governor Youngkin. I fill like the governor Youngkin has drop the ball for half the state that dog hunts so the next time you go to voting polls we need to look for candidate that represent us dog hunters. The politicians have not changed any rules or laws, so why is the game commissioned insisting on doing so?
