I agree that it depends on the group of hunters that are running the dogs. I hunt in Va and we run dogs in every organized hunt during the season. I love it and I believe that we do it correctly and legally. I do know of people in the county that are not liked because they road hunt and do not care ahat land they run their dogs on, I disagree with the way they hunt and I can see that they could give us a bad name. Do it right and on your land and I think it is fine.
