I can't believe some of these comments. A coon dog can't read posted signs, and around january through march the coon are rutting, which means a boar coon will run for miles on end before running up a tree. Trust me, I know, I've spent too many long nights this time of year listening to my dogs run a boar coon for hours. Not slow dogs either, I'm talking hounds that can drift a track on the run. Thats just how it is hunting this time of year. You can't control where that coon runs; and if you've got a halfway decent dog he is going to follow that coon every step of the way. It has nothing to do with controlling your dog.You hit him with a shock collar while hes on track and you run the risk of ruining that dog. Some can be called off track, some can't.If my dog runs off of my property and trees on someone elses, you better believe I'm going to get my dogs before I go home. Now I won't shoot out that coon, because its not my property, but I will retrieve my dog. And the law is behind me on this one. In Georgia, we have what is called the right to retrieve law. That allows hound hunters to legally trespass just long enough to get their dogs, but it is illegal to kill any animal on land that is not yours. So, in my opinion, you have every right to go and get that dog. I have just over a thousand acres of private land, and I wouldn't mind a bit if someone elses dog ran onto my property and they walked in to get him. JMO.
