Hokieman,
Other than a lot anger, what does your group offer? Surely you are not the selfish group that you are accused of being? I just would like to know what proactive things your group has done to eliminate the problems between landowners, still hunters, picnicers, etc., and hound hunters? If we sit back and refuse to negotiate or offer solutions we will get nowhere, and we will surely loose hound hunting altogether. Just pleaaassseee let me now of something positive, something a little less angry, (like threatening the VDGIF and state government) that your group now offers. I don't see how any hunting club, dog, still, etc. could become a member of your group when you act so irresponsibly. I am as passionate as you about my dogs and my sport, I just believe some of these complaints are real and we need to do more than blame others. What concessions are you and your club willing to accept, and
what newconditions are you asking for? Maybe if we are given Sunday Hunting, there may be more time to hunt and less time to argue. (LOL) I'm not banging on your group, I support it in theory, just a little concerned you are coming off as too militant, not willing to bargain at all? Well let us now what positive things you are doing. Pleeeaaasssee.
LOL, I am not here to bargin on a public forum with a bunch of no matters. We are working on a solution to the problem with people who are involved. anything I say here it appears debateable but it is not. You can't please everyone.
I don't think he really intended for you to bargain, just wanted no know what exactly you guys stood forin regards to hunter relations ona larger scale. If you honestly think we are"no matters" that proves further whyyou should not be speaking for your group. We are simplyhunters in your state askingstraight forward questions about your organization andwe get no straight forward answers and then because of your inability to be clear and say "Hey this is our stance...this is what we hope to accomplish...this is how we feel on this topic and why.....etc" you get frustrated and call us "No matters" and provide even more useless information.
Believe what you will but the "no matters" are gonna be the ones that bite you in the can, it may not be this year or next, butfrom what I have seendisplayed on this thread, if you are a truerepresentative of what the VHDA stands for,it won't take long. Thanks for taking the time to provide us all a 1 sentence response that answered pretty much 0 questions. Keep up the good work.
