I OPPOSE. This is a misconception about GPS collars. I go to hunt deer and to listen to the dogs run, observe other wildlife and the environment. Another person's dog might come by me running a deer.
I go to hunt, not to track dogs immediately. Dogs cannot be stopped. Often there is no road to be entered before a dog may cross thru to a property owned by an ant-hunter.
DWR has ignored the truth found in their own data and is trying to sell the lie that dog hunters are a problem!
The Virginia Assembly has rejected your proposals as anti-hunting.
The proposal singles out deer and bear dog hunters at a time when hunting numbers continues to decline overall.
No one but the anti-crowd would try to implement the above proposal.
Thank you,
Robert Bishop
