In all seriousness that survey is a joke, 150 people is long way from a "representative sample". And out of that, 64% were for dog hunting (in some form). Don't believe the hype, stricter regs in the future? Probably. Banning of dog hunting in VA? Not likely, no matter what some bogus survey says, hell he didn't even mention the other 50 people that were for hound hunting and just wanted the regs changed.
Quote:
I received 153 responses "” the most I've ever had in a reader response request.
"The final numbers were 49 for no change to existing laws governing hunting with hounds and 54 for the elimination of hunting with hounds. Fifty of those who responded indicated they were not against hound hunting, but thought some further regulation was necessary. So, if you do a little figuring, that's 32 percent for no change, 35 percent for elimination and 32 percent for more regulation."

49 + 54 = 103
153 - 103 = 50 more that were for dog hunting but were interested in new regs.
Spin that however you want. Put it to a statewide vote and see what happens with those numbers. Am I the only one that actually read the numbers because I noticed noone else mentioned it. I could ask 150 people I work with and I bet my numbers would be much different, BS survey is all I'm saying.
yet another blow for the antis
We all know that most do not want hound hunting done away with, and some of the few that do wouldnt if a few rules are changed. i talked with the local gm in my area a couple of weeks ago and was telling hime of the arguing on some of these sites and like he told me "why waste your energy arguing over it, its not going anywhere" He has a good point we know its not so why fall into some of these guys traps and argue with them?
