As far as the lisc. goes, i still wouldnt agree cause then anyone using dogs to hunt would have to have the extra lisc. and that would cause a big stink i think, especially with all the rabbit, coon, fox, coyote, etc. hunters here in VA., you cant just make deer dog hunters pay extra. Everything needs to stay how it is and the prices need to quit going up and these dog handlers need to take a little extra precautions on going onto others propertys. And id like to see this crossbow lisc. go away, why have 2 different lisc. for bow/crossbow hunters? I use a compound so if it doesnt go away oh well, the state just doing it to get extra money from those who choose to use the crossbows
I don't use a crossbow either but I do hunt with a bow and muzzleloader. What I'm talking about is making it fair. If the state is going to charge hunters extra to hunt big game with a bow, crossbow, or muzzleloader, then there should be a special license for big game hunting with dogs. Just my opinion and I realize it will never happen as long as the VAHDA has so many politicians in their pockets.
