Your property.
Your rights.
Virginia, the fight continues.
The Virginia Property Rights Alliance (VPRA) defends the fundamental rights of Virginia landowners against unauthorized deer and bear hound hunting on their private property. While we support responsible hunting traditions, we believe private property rights must always come first. Stand with us to protect your land and your rights.
A Problem Virginia Has Recognized for Nearly 20 Years
For decades, Virginia landowners have faced ongoing friction with hound hunting that frequently results in unauthorized dog and hunter entry onto private parcels. This long-standing conflict directly threatens the basic right to peaceful property enjoyment and secure control of your own land.
We Listen to Landowners
We give a solid voice to those affected by unauthorized deer and bear hound hunting on their land.
We Advocate for Change
We advance laws securing accountability and protecting your privacy from deer and bear hound hunting.
Why VPRA?
We stand for property rights by addressing the conflicts created when deer and bear hunting dogs cross private boundaries.
We Document the Problem
We help gather and organize landowner reports to demonstrate the true scale of trespass issues in Virginia.
We Believe Virginia Can Do Both
We support a system where deer and bear hound hunting traditions and private property rights coexist via clear boundaries.
Our Policy Priority
- Our primary policy objective is establishing a statewide permit system for deer and bear hound hunting that strictly honors private property boundaries and requires explicit landowner consent. This initiative ensures that hunting activities respect your rights and that property owners maintain complete control over their land.
Core Advocacy & Issues
We address the specific legislative gaps and practical conflicts caused by deer and bear hound hunting on private land.
Unauthorized Access
Deer and bear hounds and hunters frequently enter private land without permission. We lobby for strict boundaries that ensure your property remains private and undisturbed.
Responsible Hunting
We push for deer and bear hunting dog management requirements that prevent hounds from ranging onto non-participating parcels, ensuring hunting respect for all neighbors.
Legal Protection
Existing laws are difficult to enforce. We work to remove legal loopholes that prevent hunters from being held liable when their dogs trespass.
