Weather or not the advisory committee is stacked with dog hunters what we need to do as still hunters is write the VDGIF and voice our opinions on the right to retrieve loop hole and running dogs out of season........We all need to tell them that it needs to STOP !
That's going to be pointless as their handpicked (stacked deck) people will say otherwise. This is how one skews the whole process by leting those decide that are biased or will follow your agenda. Hey lets pick some convicted sex offenders and murders for the parole board? This mix they have picked in no way represents hunters in VA. 1/3 of the state is zero dog chasing. Is 1/3 non dog hunters? And if you have a known illegal dog hunter in the mix how many more are in there?
A FYI I have emails from this person and in his own words admits to running illegally on deer and goes on to state that the game warden was there and said it was ok to train out of season. Which warden was it? How is he qualified to advise the state on anything? Too much right now to even put into words on their so called advisory committee.
