And you wounder why farmers and ranchers dont like these things? Getting irrigation pipe ran over, wells shot for the fun of it, unauthorized dogs. Things sure must be different in your part of the country. Here you come onto someones property without permission, trespass, with a gun your poaching, looking in my barns, your stealing and I have every right to draw down on you and hold you till the sheriff or game warden gets there. Killing your dog that you are responcible for, well just a kindness as have you ever seen what the yotes do to them?
If you as a hunter were to contact me asap for my permission to come on my place I might even help look but just to do it or I see some dog just running on the place..... just another stray.
