I'm with Knobby on this one. I paid $250 for the lease and have around $100 in a food plot. Figure in another $200 worth of corn which I feed year round and $150 for the feeder I put the corn in. Batteris for the feeder @ $6.00 each replaced every two months is another $36.00. Now for the gas. Round trip it's 110 miles getting 16 miles per gallon. We'll figure 20 trips (which is very conservative) equals 2,200 miles at 16 miles per gallon would be 137.5 gallons of gas. At $1.25 per gallon that equals $171.87 in gas. Grand total is $657.87 which doesn't include the price of the feeder. This also doesn't include lunch, snacks, drinks, deer scent, bullets, well you get the idea. When dogs come running through chasing deer all over the place I get really pissed off. Out of rage it would be very possible for me to shoot a dog.

As for this guys pet, he knows it's deer season so he should keep the dog put up. I guess there are no roads where he lives either? Almost everyday I see dogs run over. If people truly cared about there pets this wouldn't happen.

I have three dogs that are very much a part of the family. They stay in the house most of the time but when they are outside they stay in a chain link fence. I've had it out with several neighbors for letting their dogs run loose and on one occasion it nearly turned into a fist fight.

About 2 years ago a neighbors basset hound that had been allowed to run loose bit my son in my yard. Needless to say, it's burried in the woods behind my house.

Sorry to go so far off the subject but I spend way too much money to let somebody's dog ruin it for me. Maybe a firm warning for a first time offense if you know the dogs owner. After that, they're fair game.
