I have read these posts for years. In my area everyone is a dog hunter so we work together and we do not have the situations that others are having. We also work closely with our land owners and if, and it does not happen that much, dogs do get off of our land we get permission to retrieve them. We have a lot of land and our dogs came run for hours and not go off of our land. It is tradition and it will continue to be for a long time.
