I am in favour of the proposal. The existing train and trial areas have caused very few issues. All hunting dogs need to be trained. Currently there have enforcement issues with hunters using hounds to hunt deer and/or coyotes. Hound hunters need facilities to train their dogs to come on command be it through whistles or shocks and beeps with collars. Having the dogs run at large for training will surely cause issues.
The animals in the compounds soon learn how to evade the dogs in the locations of cover provided. It is costly for compound owners to replace animals. The compound owners I know will ban any dogs that are overly aggressive with the compound animals. The last thing they want is for the animals to be harmed.
I believe this is a fair and reasonable proposal.
