If it were not for the snow/ice (very rare for this area) keeping us in right now, we would not add to this ongoing soap opera.

However, there is alot of snow and ice on the ground so here it is....

Someone (I think New) posted that it is illegal to shoot another "person's" dog! I did not read all of the banter since, so if this has been addressed please accept sincere apologies.

I don't know about up in the North East?? But in Texas, if your "dog" (hunting dog or not) crosses ontoour property and causes any sort of commotion or damage what so-ever, he has a date with a 175 grain sierra match king.

Period, end of story.

There is nothing illegal here about taking care of that animal. And legal issues certainly follow the owner if livestock/wildlife damage is done.

I have no beef with anyone hunting with dogs as long as it legal in their area/state, whatever.

We have run into this before but not exactly with a hunting type situation.

We lost a few goats a year or two back and could not tell what in the world was going on...didnt look like a cat etc. Finally, we caught a pack of dogs running on our ranch and thank goodness one had a collar along with the id tag that the vet had supplied for him.

Needless to say that (former)dog owner was not happy here or in the court room. Buying a chain or dog kennel is alot cheaper than buying 15-20 boer goats!!



best of luck
