Please Oppose the Dog Trespass Regulation
 

I have been hunting with the same dog hunting club for over 25 years. We hunt in an area surrounded by thousands of acres of still hunting only or non hunting landowners and clubs and have not had one confrontation in those 25 years. I believe there are more examples of this across the state than there are examples of issues. Please do not pass laws that grease the minority of squeaky wheels that do not represent the majority of the state that hunt or reside side by side in harmony. There will forever be bad egg examples of where conflict is constant but it is the majority examples of where there is none that makes our state different than the rest. Thank you for your time.
