Skidboot, I'm a nonresident hunter in the fine state and really love hunting here. I know there has to be some really great people who hunt with dogs. I just never had the opportunity to meet any of them. With that said, I don't think or want them to lose their way of hunting. They have just as much right to run their dogs on THEIR property as I have to hang a stand on mine. Even as a nonresident hunter I really don't think any type of hunting needs more regulations to force people to do right. It should be up to all the great dog hunters to weed out the bad ones. Most hunters whether dog or stalk will try to get the bad guys out of the area. It may be poachers, trespasser or dog hunters intentionally turning hounds out on others property. We all want those types gone. Don't do away with dog hunting, do away with bad dog hunters. There are a lot of night hunters and poachers in our area but I don't want our stalk hunting rights taken away because these people are doing it wrong. We call the GW and try to get rid of them.
It's hard to kiss the lips at night that chews your a$$ all day long.
