This is a good place to inform fellow hunters about bills and other legislation that may jeopardize our rights to hunt and free cast our hounds.

WV HUNTERS TAKE ACTION

Post by xdawg »

Just got off the phone with WV DNR Law Enforcement

304-558-2784 Out Of Charleston WV (CALL FOR YOURSELF)

If your county didn't vote in and accept the "SUNDAY HUNTING" you are legally not allowed to train your dogs on sundays. Basically you will be ticketed for hunting game with dogs on sundays.

I asked is this not trianing vs hunting? He said pursuing rabbits with a gun or a bow is hunting.

So then i asked, how then can i run my dogs in June without getting ticketed, since june doesn't fall within hunting season? He then went on to explain its then training.

So then i asked what the difference between the 2 is and he couldn't answer me.

Your rights are being stolen.... STOP THEM... COMPLAIN.... CALL TODAY....!!!!!!

I go to church most sunday mornings and evenings.... i respect the lord and love the fact Jesus Christ died on the cross for my sins. my life will forever be a living sacrifice for that.

So, how can DNR tell me if i own my house/land and i'm running my dogs (that in some areas i pay taxes on land/dogs) that i can't even run them on my own land between church on sundays.

I'M TELLING YOU ALL NOW, THIS IS REAL.... AND ITS WRONG!!!!!!

304-558-2784 Call today and find out for yourself...

How can a man fish on sundays and slay all the fish he wants to but not run his dogs...?

Dear WV DNR,



I’ve spoken to DNR of Charleston, WV and they told me this is who I need to speak to about the laws of WV DNR.



About Me:

I live in Cabell Co. WV and I’m an avid sportsman who finds comfort in running beagles on rabbits. I very seldom even kill rabbits. That being said, I’ve always bought my license to be able to run dogs in WV.



As you know Cabell Co. didn’t pass the act to allow “SUNDAY HUNTING” no problem, I believe in Jesus Christ and I know he died on the cross to pay for my sins. I believe Sundays are the day of rest and there shouldn’t be a bunch of gun shooting and such.



Situation:

Hunting Season for Rabbits: NOV 1st until the last day of FEB (YOU ARE ALLOW TO TRAIN AND HUNT TO KILL RABBITS)



NON Hunting Season for Rabbits: First day of MARCH until the last day of OCT (YOU ARE ALLOWED TO TRAIN ONLY AS LONG AS YOU BUY YOUR LICENSE)



My Concerns

After talking to DNR about the training of dogs on Sundays I was informed that when the no hunting on Sundays was sent through they added “pursing game with dogs” to the definition of hunting. Which allowed the training of dogs to be classified as hunting which keeps owners of hunting dogs from running their dogs on Sundays.



My Questions:

Now that hunting includes “pursing game with dogs” what stops special interest groups from coming in and stating the fact that if I run my dogs in JUNE “which is not during the hunting season” its illegal. You have opened the door to allow someone to steal the rights of thousand and thousand of license carrying, tax paying, and God fearing West Virginians.



As the active body for defining WV DNR Laws you really need to look at what you’ve done here.



What is the difference between a person running dogs and someone fishing, a couple walking there house dog who chases deer in a park, or even a group of people riding bikes or horses through the woods disturbing nature?
