Clubs that have been around for a long time and are organized dont do that dumb crap. Like you said, we dont want to get anything banned cause then hunting could go all haywire in Va and could screw all of us up.
To Nato, take up bow hunting, its fun and gets you in the woods earlier and you see the early deer routes and movement and gets you ready for the mL season and then the rut, you know where the does are.. good luck to all for the rest of the season!
The 1,000 acres could be a little too constrictive I guess. I look at turning dogs loose on someone else's property no different than someone shooting from a roadway. The dog's owner(s) should be charged with trespassing, any firearms or vehicles used should be confiscated, and hunting licenses should be revoked for 1 year. I also think the dog hunters should be required to buy a special license just like we have to for bowhunting, crossbow, and blackpowder.
