Sorry, but I don't believe that for a second! I've seen guys drop off dogs inside of a park owned by the Department of the National Interior and push deer out onto adjoining properties where hunters are waiting. I don't want to sound like I have it in for dog hunters, but I understand that some of them don't give a care about laws. Also what about the right to retrieve law? I don't want to speak about something that I have no education about, but wouldn't it be legal for them to retrieve their dogs from WMA property or military property that is not fenced? All I know is I guess no one knows for sure until it happens and things play out. I hope it's going to be a property that many can enjoy who like doing things the legal way, but I will hold my breath for now! JMO

brewman, thanks for th help and I didn't think you were starting anything at all. I'm like you. I would rather walk 10 miles to do things the right way instead of 1 mile and be on the wrong side of doing things the right and legal way! I will be looking over the property in hopes of hunting there this upcoming season along with A.P Hill and Phelps WMA. Good luck to everyone this up coming season! Ron
