Hokieman is everywhere... He's on like 9000 other forums regardless of what the forum is about. I mean go onto a guitar player forum, or PGA golf forum, or woodworking forum, or heck... anything - and you'll find a post from Hokieman preaching his VHDA stuff.

I can not go on 9000 forums like the VHDA mouthpiece does but we all need to spread the message:
CONTACT YOUR HOUSE OF DELEGATE MEMBER by phone and email- IMMEDIATLY
OPPOSE House Bill# 1352 - (Restructure DGIF Board
VOTE NO
THIS BILL WILL BE voted on the first part of next week!
This is VHDA's "Ace in the Hole" bill to unseat the current DGIF Board Members & replace them by useing the same legislators that they "Donated" too in order to get this bill introduced! The Chief Patron & About4 or5 of the CO-PATRON legislators on this bill each received $250 donation for their campaign this year from them!

This is a bad idea for VA, not just because of dog hunting, but b/c certain DGIF regions can easily be "stacked". You then have 6 people that are only interested in their hunting/fishing andcontrolling the regs b/c they are the majority of 11. This is a bad bill because IT DOES NOT REPRESENT ALL REGIONS OF VA FAIRLY!!! This will have effects on everything...not just deer hunting...maybe we could get all the Bass fishing clubs to vote against it too.

YOU HIT THE NAIL ON THE HEAD Undercoverrednek!
6 VOTES that's EXACTLY how many VHDA is trying to get the legislators to take away from the Governors appointees with house bill # 1352.
They think they can buy thier way into control of DGIF?? I certainly hope that everyone contacts the legislators that signed on to this bill& recieved the$250 campaign donation!!
LET THEM KNOW - WE WILL REMEMBER NEXT ELECTION!!!
You can go to: http://www.sbe.virginia.gov/
and type in Commonwealth Sportsmens Alliance PAC
LOOK AT THE QUARTERLY REPORTS and you can see what hunt clubs have been supporting this Va Hunting Dog Alliance & what politicians they are trying to pay off...OOPS! I mean DONATE too.

Ask Yourself This Question. If This Hound Hunting Study Or These Actions Were Taken By The Wildlife Department In Any Other State, Every Sportsmen In America Would Call It Anti-hunting. Dgif Is Pointing To Their 91 Year History Of Support For Sportsman To Say Trust Us! I Say Look At Their Track Record For The Last 4 Year History Of This Board!
Restructuring The Dgif Board Is Key To Preserving Your Hunting Heritage For Future Generations. Call And Ask Your Delegate To Support House Bill 1352 Vote Yes.

No HB 1352 is a bad bill and nothing more than a VDHA attempt to stack the board in their favor.
"The bill changes the criteria for appointment from the current requirement that there be a member chosen from each congressional district to at least one member, but no more than three"
Wouldn't this leave districts without representation?
The only good part of the bill is:
"As a qualification for appointment, each Board member must have held a resident hunting or fishing license for three consecutive years."

RE: Virginia Dog Hunting
This bill needs to be exposed for what it is. Pure bull#@$%!! Talk about stacked decks!! I have family that lives in Loudon cty, some that live in Bath cty. This billis going to leave one without representation, or someone with total voice over matters that do not concern them. The wholesituation is really very simple. There is a need for compromise when it comes to hunting.
There is such a thing as private property, andthere is such a thing as asking for permission and then following through with respect. I've hunted with beagles and other dogs for years, and never had an argument with anyone yet. But some rogues cannot find the courage to act like gentleman when given the opportunity to hunt.To deny this very truth is to preserve the problem, instead of solving it.
I can't believe this sort ofbill is even being considered. To make matters worse, it was paid for with bribery money. What a group of winners the VHDA must really be. Who in their right minds would belong to these selfish dudes??
