Pearl Jam... not to start anything but I would like to say that I dislike your way of putting all dog hunters into one group.. Granted there are a good number of poachers who call themselves hunters out there and they hunt from the road and or on property that they dont have rights to but that does not by any means mean that everyone who hunts with dogs is like that. Far from it, I know more hunters that are houndsmen that are more sportsmen and ethical than some a good deal of still hunters I have met or overheard talking. That would be like having one guy who was still hunting trespass onto your hunting lands and you catch them and then start saying all still hunters are trespassers, its just not the case. I do not agree by anymeans with hunting dogs on land that you are not suppose to be on but when done like it should be it is a wonderful branch of this heritage we call hunting.

Dont get me wrong a do alot of still hunting.. everyday from the begining of bow season through black powder(only miss 3 days or so- not whole days all the time but evenings or mornings) and then during general firearms season I still hunt a good deal of the time, but I do hunt with a group that does dog hunt and I love it!!! I have also gone back and still hunted a section of land that we ran dogs on that morning and have seen deer that evening that were relaxed. I understand your being upset about it but do not call poachers hunters or lump a entire group of people into a clump because of any experencies you may have had a few individuals. I also cant stand when someone says they are going to shoot the dogs. In Va its very illegal to kill any domesticated animals ie sporting dogs. They are not trespassing, they are only doing what is natural to them, it is the owner and only the owner that is responsible. Yes it may p*ss you off to have them run though an area where your hunting, but dont take it out on them.JMO

Like I saidI am not trying to push any style of hunting more than another since I love all styles but yes I am on my soapbox when it comes to bashing a style of hunting that you are not use to or personally disagree with. That is what makes this country great is that we each are entitled to our own opinions.
