You would think the Virginia dog hunters would welcome all the other hunters support they could gain rather than nit-picking enemies. Up till about 10 years ago dog hunting was common accross northwest Florida, but now unless you go to some of the big paper company tracts or a military base you find very few hunting with dogs. Landowners and other hunters got tired of being run over by dog hunters and managed to get laws passed that has basically stopped dog hunting. All dogs have to be collared with owners names and tract registration numbers. Dog owners have to have complete written dog hunting permission with them at all times. If a dog goes on a property not permitted and is caught the owner of the dog faces fines up to $500. I'm not an anti dog hunter, I dog hunted for close to 30 years, but not any more.
