Bill Regulations on hunting with dogs
 

Please reject this bill in its entirety. People unfortunately only focus on what effects or angers them. I do both, still hunt and dog hunt and enjoy both. I understand that 100% still hunter's have their moments with dog related issues. From all my years of still hunting the majority of mine DID NOT come from hunting dogs but from pets. People need to take a moment and take a study as to the amount of monies for charities that has been raised across the state of Virginia via houndsmen. I ask you if $10,000 was needed to help save your loved one would you care if it came from a group of houdsmen participating in a sport that they love so dearly? I know without fail that I would not hesitate even to allowing them to cast their hounds in my yard if it would save my child. All I'm asking is think about what you are taking away before you do it. Please !
