I've heard the "we can't control where our dogs go" line more than once. To me, that's just a piss poor excuse so the guys can road huntthe entire county. Guys let their dogs out knowing full well that the dogs are going to run into areas they shouldn't, and have just somewhere along the line come up with some speech about how their dogs are untouchable.

If you see how some of the guys treat their dogs on a daily basis one might think that a bullet to the head might be better off for the dog.

A few years ago I was deer hunting in the late season when I had several deer, followed by 2 coyotes, followed by 3 dogs come running like a raped ape in sneakers through my area, scaring everything within earshot. While walking back to the truck after a failed outing, I was approached by one of the coyote hunting party members, asking if i'd seen the dogs. "yeah, I saw them, and the deer they were chasing, and you know, those dogs shouldn't be here, just like you shouldn't be on this ground right now, either"

"yeah, well, we can't control where the dogs go" with a big grin on his face.

"Maybe you cant control where your dogs go, BUT I CAN."

Ended the conversation pretty quick...
