SouthernDoghunter,
Have you stopped to think about why your preferred type of hunting is under attack? I have; and it isn’t because you kill a deer that was pushed from its bed with a dog. It is because people are sick of having hunting dogs on private property. You keep saying “the dog can’t read.” You need to stop saying that because it makes you sound ignorant. That is not a conversation ending statement. If I can’t have my dog outside not on a leash, why can you? Hunting dogs end up on private or public property time and time again. That is a fact, and it keeps happening. Then the hunter says something that doesn’t sit well with the people who are bothered by it; “the dogs can’t read.” Yeah, no crap, and neither can the hunter, is probably what they’re thinking.

My dog is my responsibility, not the landowners on either side of me. My youngest child can’t read either, and he too is my responsibility. You can’t set a dog free on a small piece of property and expect him to stay on it. It is your job to figure out a way to fix the problem, not the people or hunters who don’t participate. If you elect not to, your privilege will most certainly go away. Like it or not, if you don’t get creative and respectful you won’t be doing this much longer. I hope you’re able to see that, and I hope that your privilege doesn’t go away, but that is on you.
Man get real!!!! Im not ignorant!! I know that i am responsable for my dog and i try my best to keep them out of the still hunt clubs and private land,but you people are ignorant and should go to jail for a long time for shooting dogs period!!!!!!
First of all,
You need to learn how to quote someone. I don't want anyone to mix up your words as being mine. Ignorant isn't a bad word, and it doesn't mean stupid. I am ignorant on a lot of subjects, even this one, dog hunting. But your attitude isn’t helping your cause. Because like it or not, people like me (who are also ignorant to dog hunting) will be deciding the fate of dog hunting. So, if you want people to listen, you have to sound like you're willing to have a conversation. Do multiple exclamation points represent yelling?
You're so ready to accuse everyone of generalizing all dog hunters, but you just did the same thing. I've never shot a dog, and don't know anyone who has.

Please answer me this; when two hunting dogs came into my back yard and started fighting with my dog right next to my children, how was the owner being responsible for his dogs?
This post just told us who you were. I doubt the hunting dogs attacked your dog, If truth be known your dog started the rukus. Hunting dogs by nature are gentle animals unless prodded or provoked.
