I used to have problems with deer doggers on my land, but admittedly, after a rather strong confrontation last year (2006) that involved law enforcement (but no charges), I had very few problems this year. This year there were two encounters, one with collared dogs driving deer through my property --- hey, stuff happens --- and one with a stand hunter on a dog drive trespassing. I pointed out that he was about 100 yards over the property line and he apologized profusely, took his rifle (and shotgun), said that he'd let everyone know about the boundary and left by the most expeditious route. Compared to incidents of the previous decade, this was welcome relief.(He was even courteous when Isuggested that he should be wearing some form of blaze orange.)

I guess we've reached an understanding. And in this case, the deer doggers are trying to police their own and comply.
