I used to live in VA. I don't care for hounds in the deer woods. I don't mind hunters using hounds on large parcels of land they have permission to be on, but the fellas who drop the tailgate and know they only have legal access to 200 acres need to be reined in a bit. We all know a hound can cover a lot of ground and that hounds can't read. I have friends in VA who'd love to see deerhunting with dogs ended. They get very frustrated with houndsmen who turn loose a pack on small acreage knowing full well the dogs will hunt posted property. That isn't right. I wish I had more encouraging words for you but the problem is now being dealt with by laws as a cure. It's too bad some of the more upstanding houndsmen didn't police their unlawful brethren to prevent what is now trying to happen. I hope you don't take this wrong. I'm not against you but I understand both sides of the issue. Good Luck
