Sometimes you just have to use plain common sense instead of playing the macho "my land, my rules" game. My land is surrounded on three sides by a neighbor who let's me have the run of his 140 acres of prime hunting land. Ditto for the next neighbor over from him. The guy who owns 200 acres just south of me has also been a good neighbor who has helped me out with work on my land. If you think that I would endanger any one of those relationships by shooting one of their dogs for running after a deer on my land (and no they aint gonna catch it or spoil the entire days hunt, get real) then you are smoking the same potent stuff as Steve who evidentally thinks that shooting a deer point blank from a stand is more challenging than a running shot on a deer running in front of dogs. Think it thru guys, think it thru.
