Lanse, that may bethe case in OH but not here in Va! After 30+ years of still hunting all over the state I can count the number of tresspassers I have encountered on one hand. The number of incidents where deer hounds running out of season or on posted land messing up my hunt are too many to count, and I mean too many tocount in just one year.
I agree with you buckwild, my hunting buddy andI lease 170 acers in Orange Co Va for the last two years. its right in the middle of several very large farm land tracts. hunting or at leasts seeing deer in the early season is very good,,, untill the dogs come out. in the past i have done real goodwith scent control and i use to spray regular doe pee on my boot solesto help mask my scentand have had several bucks follow my trail right to the tree stand. But three times last year I had some ones dogs (barking all the way) track me andthe doe pee rightdown my trail,totwo different tree stands and once tracked me while i was still huntingnear a river crossing. i would NEVER hurt someones dog, thier just doing what come natural. but i would sure like to ruin the owners hunting day if i could find them.
If you hunt with dogs.. Fine. Keep them on your own property. If I see you on my property you will be proving to the GW you were on my property to look for your waywerd dogs. You dont have the right to stomp thru my property spreding your scent around willy nilly because you cant controle your dogs....... nuf said
