RE: Virginians for Hound Hunting Reform
I agree that thr rtr law is deff. abused. If my dogs are on someone elses property, I will try to gain permission or wait till after dark to try and retrieve them. If they are more than a couple of hundered yards or so I dont attempt without permission. I also try to train my dogs to come back home so I dont have to go on someone elses property. I also can understand a still hunters frustration of dogs interupting their hunts, every once in awhile should be expected and shouldnt be a big deal as long as it was not done on purpose and does not happen often. If once in awhile a hunter comes through my hunt looking for game I dont get mad, if it started becoming a habit and was done to hunt my land I too would be mad. I know that there are dog hunters that abuse the loopholes in some of these laws but most do not.
