I oppose to trespassing law
 

As everyone know there are good and bad hunters I have been a dog hunter my entire life and it’s a tadition in my family. As many people think we let dogs  trespass on there land and  that is not the case we do everything in our power to stop the dogs and keep them off others property as the dog peruses it’s game. Where I hunt all the land owners get along with us and they know when we hunt it’s a possibility that’s the dogs could come on there land and they totally understand and we get our dogs as soon as we can. There’s going to be bad apples that don’t care about other and don’t respect landowners but the good people like myself if everyone respects one another everything would be just fine. Therefore I see no need to pass this law if you respect one another and the people you hunt around. The dogs do there job like there suppose to and peruse the game, they can’t read signs like most people think they can.
