Please stop hound hunters right to retrieve on private property. We have multiple where incidents every year where hunting dogs attack our pets on our private property causing harm, loss of life, and vet bills. Private property should remain private year around.

The Virginia Department of Wildlife Resources (DWR) and their biologists have been discussing the impact of blue channel catfish in our waters including the Chesapeake Bay. These fish were introduced by the department and are a non native species in these waters. I know these fish are a source of income for sport fishing guides and Charters that target the large blue catfish. However, there is merit to opening up sustainable harvests fof local restaraunts, local fish markets and aquaculture. I support the initiatives taken by the DWR. You can get copies of the public comments on the blue catfish from the DWR from earlier this year.
