Thought the reason for the dog pens were to keep the dogs in shape. Ever notice how some and I repeat some dog owners and dog hunters contradict themselves more and more as they keep talking. Just listen to the Chairman of the BOD of VaHDA talk sometime. You will be amazed what comes out of his mouth and wonder why he is still Chairman. And he is said to represent somewhere between 0 to 85000 hunters. In about 50 clubs. You do the math.
