Please Appose the hound trespass bill
 

Please appose the hound trespassing bill. This will be the beginning of the end of hound hunting in Virginia if it is passed. Hound hunting has been a very important role in my life and it kept me out of harm/trouble in my younger years as I was growing up. Please don’t let a minor group of people compel you to pass this bill. I know there are some bad apples, just as there are in any other activity or aspect of life. Most people who are supporting this bill either are from out of town or counties where they do not allow hound hunting. Many of them probably only own an acre or two. Most any hunting club in the state of Virginia leases/owns thousands of acres to hunt on every year. Please support hound hunting. Thank you!
