67% were either against dog hunting or wanted it changed. Hows that spin on it? You guys are beating your chest like it's some sort of victory. First more are totally against it than for it. It's only slightly more so lets just cancel those 2 out. That leaves 32%. "For" is actually "more regulation" and that leaves a lot to the imagination. "More regulation" could mean minimum sizes of land to hunt with dogs, no right to retrieve, no chasing of anything in bow or ML season and a lot of other things that are being kicked around in the VDGIF survey. Those couple of suggestions are just so you can get an idea of how a person could be "for" and still create big change for the dog hunters. It wouldn't bother me one bit to wake up tomorrow and hear it's all over for hunting with dogs. But in reality it's the deer chasers that to me and many others are the ones causing the biggest problems. So in a properly formatted survey I would be able to say "yes" to dog chasing in general so not to end things for the small sect of dog hunters that pose little to zero problems. Like real fox hunters, rabbit hunters and coon hunters to name a few. A good survey would let it be clearly stated exactly what parts of dog hunting needs more regulation and which sect should get them and exactly what one feels will correct it.

Looked at the questions on the VDGIF survey? Well it's all right there. Looking forward to seeing the results on that one. I think it will clear up what that other 32% really feels.
