If hunting with dogs is such a sacred tradition, why are you doing it with pickup trucks, tracking collars and hunting licenses? None of these things were utilized when the tradition was born, so there fore they are not part of the tradition.
As was mentioned earlier, Slavery was a tradition in a large area of our country. In my opinion, some traditions need to be done away with. Anyone care to disagree with this point?
Dog running doesn't have to end, it does however need to be changed. There are far to many unenforcable laws. The Game Wardens know this and therefore rarely even try to enforce them. The law makers know this but don't care, their votes have basically been bought and paid for. It only makes financial sense for them to keep things the way they are. There is a group of people out there touting to be for all hunters rights, but when a bill is introduced to expand and further hunting rights for all hunters, they join HSUS in opposing it
This group is in total denial about the law breaking some of their members doing, it's never their fault, and all they tell you is to call the GW (who knows it's an un-enforcable law).
