This is very welcome news. This is long overdue and is necessary .

The general public is unaware that you cannot fence your property and allow a dog to pursue any game.

I have told lots of people , they can't fence their own property and allow their beagle, labrador retriever or any dog to chase a rabbit, fox, coyote .

You could own 1000 acres and it is still illegal. Our property rights are eroded.

Training, exercising and providing enrichment opportunities for our hounds is paramount .
At one time you could obtain a training license for some types of game, I don't know if they are still available . Regardless there is additional risk in running in areas with roads, train tracks, etc.

Beagle Clubs, Retriever clubs , foxhound clubs deserve the opportunity to continue our sport. Having the current facilities , although very scarce, is a wonderful way to train our hounds. To socialize with fellow outdoors men. The current facilities are well run, take excellent care of the game. The are fed regularly, have ample safe dens, etc.
