Virginia landowners clash with hunters over property rights and wildlife management.

A dispute in Virginia pits landowners against hunters over property rights and hunting traditions. Landowner Michael Morris wants to change laws to prevent hunting dogs on private land at night and to require hunter identification. State Senator Mark Peake notes the difficulty in balancing these interests. The Department of Wildlife Resources proposed GPS tracking for dogs and rules to prevent dogs from entering private property, but both were widely rejected. The DWR advises both parties to act responsibly and to contact them if problems occur.
