Retriever...You reminded me of another fact...Most of these dogs have tracking collars...Many times when I happen to be hunting on our farms and the dogs come through there are 3-4 pickups parked on the road with the antenna out, tracking the dogs....Even though this frustrates me, and has for over 35 years, I have never shot a deer dog, in fact, it is a felony in NC to do so and with family still in the area and brother owning a business there, I am not going to go that far......Now, I have been considering setting coyote traps, just want to insure it works on canines only...

And you are correct, it has been beaten to death, and like the baiting issue, I don't usually respond because by the time I see, its up to 6 pages and nobody is reading, just argueing and determined that they are "right".....Funny thing is, it seems most that are dead set against either live in an area where it isn't legal and have no experience, makes me wonder why, if they have no experience with, why they answer.....

btw....I didn't answer the poll, guess I need to see..."It's fine by me, if legal as long as you have 2,000 continuous acres and keep their dogs within that area"....In fact, I'd like to see a $50.00 bounty on deer dogs caught on your property....I bet those good old boys would think twice then....

Now...Let's see who will be first to say..."Dogs can't read posted signs"...
Or "Dogs don't know where property boundaries are"....I say, if you can't keep them on your property, keep them in the dog box....
