Trust me I understand your frustration, I have gone 20+ pages multiple times on this topic and there always seems to be serious breakdowns in communications as both sides tend to be so "dug in" on their opinions/beliefs that noone wants to give an inch.

I am not in disagreement with you on the point mentioned about anti groups either. While I don't believe anti's started the Hound Survey in VA I do believe they will jump on board anything that will limit or reduce hunting in anyway.

I wasn't trying to be too critical of you earlier I just think it is important to try to put a good foot forward and improve the way the non dog hunting people view dog hunters rather than fuel the stereotypes and validate the reasons many don't support dog hunting.

Good luck.
