We all have to fight to get this stopped. There are so many law abiding dog hunters who treat their dogs with respect and love, who cherish them as part of their families and wouldn’t leave the hunt with a dog missing. There are dog hunters that respect peoples properties, don’t dump wherever they want, and try their hardest to keep their dogs on their own property. Hunting with dogs is one of the oldest sports in the country, older than the country itself. The first pack of walkers came from England when the country was founded. Banning the sport would be a huge mistake, taking away years of memories and good times. And it’s not just deer dogs, they’ll come for the deer dogs first, move to rabbit dogs, and c**n dogs. And then once the dog hunters are gone, they’ll come for the still hunters too. We are all hunters, we shouldn’t be fighting like we do. Everyone’s got their choice in how to hunt, we are all chasing the same game. Trying to provide extremely beneficial food for our families, food that is given to us by God. That being said, us as dog hunters need to be responsible and stop creating problems for ourselves. We need to stop dumping dogs at the end of the season because you don’t feel like feeding them all year. We need to stop dropping the box on someone’s land that doesn’t want you there. We need to follow the law. That’s the end of it. Follow the law. Majority of us do what’s right, but just like any other sport you have some bad ones. To the public eye I would just like to say, there’s more of us who do what’s is right than wrong. Most hunt clubs follow the law and respect people and their properties. Most dog hunters treat their dogs like family. There’s a few that don’t and they are going to get it taken away from us.
For the love of dog hunting, we must stand together and fight for these bills not to be passed. For ourselves, our children, and their children. And for the thousands of hounds that were bred over a thousand years to hunt the way they do. Without us hunting them, they’d be absolutely useless and that’s a terrible thing. All our dogs love to hunt, it would really be a shame to take that away from them.
