Stakeholder Advisory Committee

John Rawls Jr., Deer Hound Hunter

I was born and raised in Southampton County, VA. I have been an avid hunter with hounds my entire life. I enjoy all types of hunting: turkey, rabbit, bow, and of course deer. I take a special interest in this issue because I own hounds and love to hunt. Golf and fishing are my other hobbies when I cannot hunt. I am proud to be able to serve on the SAC committee because if we can work together as a group, then there is a greater chance to get this issue resolved.
