RE: The Enemy Within......
Wheatley, you are right. The majority of what I said is illegal hunting. But, that is what I see coming from the dog hunting clubs. So, should I turn a blind eye to it, and support dog hunting because it is a form of hunting. I say NO because it negatively impacts other forms of hunting due to negative public opinion. I believe jmbuckhunter understands what I am trying to say. Change in some forms of hunting is necessary, and in some cases desirable.
Now, for a non-illegal example. In many counties in central VA the land is getting divided up into ever so small portions as development moves to the "country". Dog hunting now may not be a practical means of hunting in these areas due to the increased development, deer/vehicle collision risk, etc. It may be better for the community as a whole to stop that form of hunting because of this. Just an example...
