After a three-hour discussion following years of back-and-forth over possible regulations for hound hunting in Virginia, the conversation is still ongoing.
Dozens of Virginia residents packed themselves into a Department of Wildlife Resources board room in Henrico County on the morning of Thursday, Jan. 18. All of them were there to speak out on the topic of hound hunting -- when hunters use dogs to help find game.
"We hunt and we love it, and we ain't going nowhere," said one hound hunter during the public comment period. "Because this is in my blood, I ain't going nowhere."

I believe the taxpaying property owner who bought the land has the right to to say you're not allowed on my property. We owned land we sold it, one reason is hunters trespassing, we bought our land for us, not them. The hunters right to retrieve a wounded prey on private property IS allowed only IF given permission by the property owner. Period.

Pretty easy fix. If you dont have permision to hunt or go on spmeones property then dont, Dont drop off your dogs on front of property you dont have permission to hunt, if you dog "wonders" on to someones property follow the rules in the hunting manual, politely go and ask the owner for permission to go and retrieve your dog, leave your gun in the truck, get the dog and leave and be respectful. Dont try tp bully landowners cause they have the right to defend themselves as well. Hunt the property that you have permossion to hunt. Dont try to run your dogs through someones property because you know the deer bed down in there. I am a memeber of a hunt club and these are the rules we follow and we get along great with the owners and other clubs around us to the point that we join up with other clubs on occasion to help each other out

All of the principles youre mentioning rely on someones honesty and honor, which doesnt really exist with most hound hunters. They just wanna run dogs and kill everything

What are they hunting? Birds? Deer? Whoever is paying the taxes on the property is the authority on who hunts it I’d say

If you wound a animal the hunter is required to retrieve it or they face charges of wasting the animal. If you own the land and post it the hunter still has the right to retrieve. I meet a dog breeder/trainer in Alabama who enclosed 100 acres and stocked with all types of predator and prey. The cost of dog or deer proof fencing is high and no bank will finance it

I hope i see the end of dog hunting in VA during my lifetime. I grew up hunting with dogs and as I've gotten older Ive seen the terrible things that come with it. We would have more deer, bigger deer with a better age structure and antlers, far less trespassing, less firearm accidents while hunting, etc etc. There are no negatives to banning hound hunting other than hurting the feelings of lazy hunters and ruining "tradition". And allowing hound hunting on public land WMAs is complete bullshit. GET RID OF IT

Hound hunting is lazy hunting. If you don’t have permission then don’t go there.

Wrong answer, they just need to be respect about how they are doing it. I’m sure it is a hand full of hunters that think they can go where ever they want and it is just not that way any more. Like someone said above, hunt the land your allowed to hunt and stay away from the others. If your dog goes over there then put your weapons away and ask to retrieve your dog. You can’t always stop the dog from going there, but have some respect to those that own the land and put the weapons away and things will probably go much better.

@@crowmedicine4520 not sure which American you have grown up in , but where I’m from hunting is a time honored tradition. Where I come from it is a way of life and helps make ends meet for a lot of families, mine included. Also keeps the prey we harvest from running out in front of your car after dark and raising your insurance rates. So just things like that in mind when you want to talk about “shut it down” just because it is something you happen to not need at this point in your life. There may come a day you wish you knew how to do it.
