Ok, the thread started out by asking if you would approve of hound hunting if it were to be "on the table" so to speak. My answer is no. Not for WI. Even though we have large tracts of public land where hound hunting would be feasible, I'd be against it and I would bet that a huge majority of hunters and non-hunters alike would be. I read through much of this thread, and I can understand both points of view, and my opinion is based purely on tradition. Hound hunting is not part of our tradition up here, and it wouldn't go over.

One thing I can't understand is that baiting was never part of our tradition either, until about 20 years ago. Now we have it,it's controversial, and I hate it. I don't understand how baiting came to be legal and accepted. I guess the theory was to make it easier to reduce the deer population, well it didn't work so let's nix it!
