Virginia legalizes the use of tracking dogs

Virginia recently legalized the use of tracking dogs. Recent legislation allows: Tracking dogs maintained and controlled on a lead may be used to find a wounded or dead bear or deer statewide during any archery, muzzleloader, or firearm bear or deer hunting season, or within 24 hours of the end of such season, provided that those who are involved in the retrieval effort have permission to hunt on or to access the land being searched and do not have any weapons in their possession.

See http://www.dgif.virginia.gov/hunting/regulations/new.asp

A big thank you to everybody who supported the change and congratulations to Virginia hunters!

    Now we just need someone or a group to list their services. So, if someone needs them, they can easily be found.
