Comments
Is Del. Lohr trying to get us all robbed and murdered in our beds or possibly driven crazy? I wish he were a widow living on a farm in the country. Not only that the game is driven out for the season when it should be raising its' young and fattening up for REAL HUNTERS. Who is This guy?
That seems a non sequitur from this bill. How does the training of bear hounds at night (or hunting in general) relate to this?
