Default RE: Running Dogs In VA

So let me get this straight, you know me?

Now my question to you D head is first I’m sure your much better fisherman then I, and when your hunt with your dogs do they ever cross on to posted property? If they do and I’m sure they do since they can’t read then how is that being respectful of others myson may have been sitting there waiting for that little buck before your dogs chased him away.
Of course you don't know mebut you continue down the same road of ignorance. And when I say ignorant don't take it as I think you are stupid because I don't think that at all. Any person that is a successful hunter and likes taking their kids huntinghas to have something going on upstairs. All I mean isI am not the guy disrespecting your land, I am not the guy that shot towards you and your son, I am not some beer drinking trespasser and it is uninformed of you to approach me as such. You can not be sure of anything since you do not know me, the land I hunt, the acreage, the kind of dogs we use, in short nothing is what you know about me and how I dog hunt. Yet you continue tolump me in with the bad experiences you have had with dog hunters or illegal hunters for that matter.

My whole point to you and anyone else is that there are many dog hunters that are respectful of bordering landowners, other hunters, and everything else hunting related. We may run hounds on our big piece(2500 acres) and we know the bordering clubsbut on the small tracts we usually just push 3 or 4 beagles. Communication and coordination within a club is necessary and trust me I know the bad side of dog hunting as I own 100 acre farm in VA and hunt clubs border us and inthe past we did have some trespassing problems and poaching problems. I'm really not a D head as you put I simply ask not to be painted with the same brush as the bad apples. I'm sure you would agree it is not just dog hunters breaking the laws and trespassing. There are bad apples in every bunch and I truly wish you did not have to deal with them andbeyond thatI think the local warden should be dealing with them all I am saying isthose guys do not represent alldog hunters.

As far as the"Release The Hounds" it is just a little inside joke, nothing serious or insulting just an old phrase I heard on some show abouthorseback hunting and foxes. However, I would say your first post in this thread was far from diplomatic or informative more like insulting and demeaningwhich led to my initial response. Those guys you were poking fun at and insulting their deerare good guys, respectful huntersand my friends so of course I didn't appreciate it and I'm sure you would not have either.
