So, quick, all you hunters, get on your steeds, ride to the proper office, and get your licenses. We do not want any poachers riding around, do we?" Krutex, This has little to do with hunting, and everything to do with following the rule of law. How can we expect an aofficial to pass laws, if he breaks them. Kinda like the Fox watching the Hen House. “Gee, it’s nice to learn so much about FOX HUNTING on a a political thread.

Follow the money........ Krutis,

I agree fox hunters are not listed under the exceptions. In many states, fox hunting is not classifed as hunting. Individual or group trapping permits are required but I am sure that any club sponsoring a fox hunt would have all permits covered. I would say the VA law is very vague on this matter. Were it I, in the sense of fairness, I would retract that Mr. Day engaged in illegal activity since you do not know the degree to which he engaged in fox hunting. If he was ill, I expect he participated as a hilltopper. On the other hand, I would agree with you that it is a pretty ridiculous statement for him to make in an robo-call. My main interest in the topic is from an ex-horsewoman's point of view. And no, I have never been a part of the fox hunt set. A few bets on the ponies at Charlestown is more my speed these days.

Does Virginia allow this? How about the Hilltoppers? Must they have a license? I will check the reference out and respond accordingly. grin. Maryland has provisions for a group license.

Reference is VA Code § 29.1-300. Code § 29.1-301 sets out exceptions to the requirement for having a license, and none of those would cover this instance. A license is required to engage in fox hunting. William Day has engaged in behavior that is unlawful. If you are engaged in the hunt, you need a license.

I do not believe that some of the riders have to have a license, although the hunt staff who handle the fox probably do. Why would one need a license just to ride a horse?

If you don't have a license you can't hunt. Its amazing the PWC dems could not find a better candidate than folks like Day, Rishell, or Roemmelt. All these candidates are a joke!

The VDGIF website has details.

Not my district. However, the fox hunting did interest me. Since when does one need a hunting license for fox hunting? The fox is rarely killed, in this country at least. It is more a game of cat and mouse. The riders in the fox hunt are generally not armed and the purpose is more about horsemanship than actual hunting. Perhaps Mr. Day is a poacher. I would have no way to know if he is or isn't. However, he isn't one because of fox hunting. http://www.freedomfields.net/foxhunting_in_virginia.html I have paid no interest in the Day/Lingamfelter campaign. Not my district.
