Doesn’t seem they’re interested in what’s “good for the sport”.

Of course they are not, I also grew up listening to hounds run on our farm and loved it, the dogs always belonged to family friends who we allowed to come and we hunted alongside them, problem is that generation died off and was replaced by folks who somehow felt entitled to do as they wish.

The guy who stopped by to ask if he could look for his dog disappeared and the new guys showed up, they asked to be pulled out your planted wheat field where they buried their jacked up POS looking for their dog. Or even worse, a pack of hungry hounds hanging out around your house for weeks at a time.

As public land closed up to them and fewer and fewer landowners wanted to have them around or lease to them they came up with a brilliant stratagy, lease out as small a piece of land as possible and turn your hounds out to work across others land back to you, this was the final nail in the coffin for me.

I realize this issue was about KNF but in my opinion at this point is the dogs need to go the way of the dodo bird.

Still hunting has zero impact on dog hunting, the opposite can not be said and that really is the crux of the matter on public land.
