The use of Deer dogs in SC is as old as the Deer hunting itself. There any many people that try every year to destroy what is a deep rooted tradition in the low country of SC. With the help of modern technology and GPS tracking capability the control of our hounds are somewhat at our fingertips. It is understood that certain clubs and people have given dog hunting a sour name and these groups need to be stopped but be understood not all clubs and people that dog hunt are bad. Before any decision is made to do away with or restrict the use of hounds on land due to it not being a total of 1000 acres please take the time to research the sport and understand the negative economical impact the smaller towns in low country SC will endure if they do not receive the business from hunters. I feel the dog hunting community in SC will agree and hope this petition will represent the vast majority in saying WE ARE NOT OPPOSED TO CHANGE but allow us to have a voice to be heard. Every person reading this that has ever dog hunted can think back and probably have fond memories of doing it with people that was a great impact on their life.  All we are asking is the chance to meet in the middle so the land owners/still hunters in SC and doghunters can both enjoy their land the way they would like.
