If these RTR Bills pass it WILL effect all hound hunting in the state bear .coon deer. fox. rabbit etc. One Bill as written
if caught on land with out permission (retrieving your personal property) you will receive a trespass summons and not allowed to retrieve for 5 years

The other Bill states that you have to gain permission in the daylight. makes it tough on a coon hunter at 2am

Contact your states Federation and other hunting associations if you haven't already. The Sportsman Association is another one to contact and make sure they have it on their radar.

Jen thank you for your valuable input and support.
Not one day has gone by since I've been alive that there has not been a hunting dog here of some kind . My Dad had a good pack of beagles on Thanksgiving Day every year my 3 uncle's would come back here to the family farm that they grew up on for a big rabbit hunt when I was big enough to tag along they would let me go .those hunts started it for me then when I heard a dog tree oh man. Sorry for the long winded post
As you can tell I'm very passionate about the tradition of hound hunting in Virginia
Thanks to those that could help
