Bear hound training; allows training of dogs to hunt bears to occur from 4:00 a.m. until 10:00 p.m. (HB95)

I am adamantly opposed to this bill! Bear hunters are already allowed to "train" their dogs 7 days a week and from before sunrise to way into the early morning hours after sunset. I have lived in rural Botetourt County for over 12 years, and every year, during the "chase" season and the bear season when hounds are used, my life has been negatively impacted by bear hunters because of relentless traffic, noise, driving offenses (reckless driving, blocking of the roads, etc.), trespass issues, hounds howling and running across my land and in my pastures (all posted land!), littering, and poaching. As it stands now, there is no peace during these times. I cannot peaceably enjoy the use of my own land during these times (which is a constitutional right, by the way!). I implore you to opppose this bill which would take away the few nighttime hours left!
