WE DID IT! SB 712, the intentional trespass bill, did not pass in the Senate today, so it is done for. Thank you for all the phone calls, emails, and visits to our legislators. Together we stand! Thank you also to Senator Creigh Deeds who supported hound hunting and to Lieutenant Governor Winsome Earle-Sears who cast the tie-breaking vote. Praise be to God! Please share!

The DWR "Hunting with Hounds" Survey is out. This is different from the Hound Study page where you have been leaving comments.

The survey prompts different questions if you select you’re a hound hunter or landowner. You can also select both, which might be helpful since just about all hound hunters are also landowners.

Please be sure to take the survey in addition to submitting comments. We have until 5:00pm on June 23rd, so make sure your voice is heard!

You can find the survey here: https://virginia.az1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_cT3BfnKtTfHMGFw

HOUND STUDY URGENT: DWR has created a new page on their website regarding the Hound Study. The most interesting thing to note is that this page is not readily available on the DWR website. As of this morning:

It’s not listed under “Hunting.”
It’s not listed under “Notes from the Field.”
It’s not published as an article/press release.
It’s not found under "Public Comments” even though the page is soliciting comments.

The only way to find this information page is to have been given the specific URL that goes directly to the page. We know the landowners group already has that page, shared it with its members, and has been submitting comments at least since yesterday.

We can’t even count on DWR to implement this Hound Study process fairly. DWR claims this is a stakeholder-driven process, but one set of stakeholders -- the hound-hunters -- are being left out.

This is the time to comment and act is NOW. Go to the new Hound Study page and leave your comments: https://dwr.virginia.gov/hunters-landowners-sac/

Be sure to share this information on social media, with your hunt clubs, with fellow hound hunters, VAHDA chapters, and more. We only have a short time to respond.

How can someone be a deciding factor on Virginia hunting regulations and not even have a Virginia hunting license at any time in the last twenty years? Please share!
