Oppose GPS regulation
 

I oppose. Dogs cannot read a posted sign. A responsible hunter will do everything they can to retrieve a dog from property it is not supposed to be on and this regulation will hamper that effort and just make the dog owner a criminal without actually stopping the action. This is why the law is written as it is. This is why the legislature killed this action in committee. This is why the game commission should not do this end run around the legislature. 

I strongly oppose.

What stops a pet dog from going on this property? Are you going to make a pet owner a criminal too? Poor Fifi.
