RE: Running Dogs In VA
There was no dog hunting for deer and only deer on that piece, a state WMA. There is deer chasing allowed on the adjoining lands. But since it's late season and dog deer chasing is open elsewhere the doggers move onto other places. None of the deer chasing affects fox chasing but not a single "fox" chase going on. Why's that? One explanation is that the so called fox hounds don't exist but are in reality deer hounds using the fox loophole. But since there was legal chasing and shooting elsewhere they choose that instead. Now I bet once the shooting/chasing ends they start back chasing "foxes" there. I'll be scouting soon and I'll see then if I'm correct.
Also no need to post dog chasing rules and laws. I know them all too well by now.
