If you were me....
What would you do if you have stray dogs on your hunting property? I have been settingup for my first bird this year by bow. For the last two times i was able to call in some Toms but as it comes down for a shot, each day they have been spooked by a dog (not hunting dog). My trail cam has taken several pictures of it, and I included it in a printed out paper that I put in a dozen mailboxes.
It is a good 3/4 mile to the nearest home, which is next to 900 hunted acres. I called the ranger, his first question was if the land is posted. My answer was yes, so he advised me to put the flyer I printed up and put in everyones mailbox.
On Saturday I had a Tom come out at about 50 yrds, and without a shot I had to let him go because the dog came running by and chased the bird.
Any opinions? Im shooting my bow, so 50 yrd shotsis out of the question for a bird, but that dang dog is giving me the best target!

Do not follow where the path may lead...go instead where there is no path and blaze a trail!
