I am so glad about this decision. We on the western end of the state have been shut down for so long in june and july. It sure has been hard to keep a dog in shape for some of the bigger hunts in the summer time but now we will be able to be better prepared. Looking forward to at least running the dogs a night or two during this time.

It would be nice if they would allow you to hunt on the National Forest land West on the Blueridge Mtns.
