I have read and understand your point, However the dog clubs that did this was wrong flat out, the person who shot the dogs were more wrong flat out. The deer you feed or pass up on your land is free roaming which means you or I don't own them they belong to the Commonwealth of Virginia. This doesn't mean a dog hunting club has the right to turn their dogs out on posted land or any land they don't have permission. two wrongs don't make a right. Dog hunting clubs and landowners need to better communicate and respect each other.
Well I don't believe the State owns the deer. They just manage the hunting for the PEOPLE.
As far as communication between clubs and landowners...what part of No Trespassing or NO HUNTING is hard to understand?
The dog hunters communicate the fact that they have NO RESPECT for private property by sending their dogs across the land...and the landowner communicates that HE'S FED UP and will do whatever it takes to stop it.
