Let me get this straight. You are asking whether it is wrong to enter land after darkthat you don't own nor have permission to step foot on, carry your firearm with you, and take an animal while you are doing so?

Yes, it is wrong. Not only is it wrong, but it is illegal and extremely dangerous. In Texas you can legally shoot a trespasser at night in defense of private property, regardless of whether they are armed or attack you. Regardless of what state you are in, a person who is ARMED and trespassing at night is very likely to get shot, especially if you are hunting with a handgun. And the prosecutor's office will likely deem it a justifiable homicide.

These kind of actions give all hunters a bad name and contribute to the increasing push for government regulation. Your dogs really like to run?!?Well gosh-darn, I guess that entitles you to disregard landowners rights, as if no one else has a dog that likes exercise.
