As a doghunter to other doghunters i havesome suggestions-

buy e-collars and train your deer dogs with them. It will drastically drop the complaints in the surrounding areas from private property owners. If trained correctly, these dogs will stop to a whistle or blown horn and wont cross into land where they dont belong. Almost my whole crew have trained our dogs with e-collars and our hunting is more productive and efficient with easily caught dogs. If we take away the numbers of complaints of private landowners, they will probably not have a problem with us anymore. It is a small price to pay(along with tracking collars)to keep our doghunting tradition alive.The dogs are smart and easily trained,they justlove to run deerand and dont want to give up easy.

Another suggestion is think before you put dogs out! Dont put dogs out in highway-adjacent blocks or blocks bordering private land. This is the best preventative measure to keep them off of private property. Respect others property rights,repect everyone'sway of hunting,and be ambassadors for our sport and not a bad example.
