RE: dogs running the woods.
I would not shoot anyone's dog...In fact, it is a felony in NC to shoot someone else's dog...
I had a property I hunted a few years back, got pictures of 3 different dogs checking a scrape...I took the pictures to the landowner and asked him if he knew who's dogs they were...He said he did and let the owners know to chain them up during the season...
Now, if they are deer hunting dogs, good luck...Most deer dogs have better blood lines then their owners....
