Well this morning started off normal. I woke up, got ready and had my dad check the forecast for today(he had to go to work at 8 so he didn't hunt). It called for rain showers starting around 9:30 or 10:00. We both agreed that that might be good because from his experience the deer often move before it rains. Well I headed out and walked to my stand. I got in about 30 minutes before daylight like normal. Right at daylight I hear something making a ton of noise so I watched the hill it was coming from and here comes a huge body. I thought forsure it was 'ole big boy but I scoped it and it was just a big doe. Well she walks off and it starts to rain a bit. It was 40 degrees so I just sat in it becuase it wasn't cold enough to bother me. About 30 minutes later I hear dogs running around barking in my pasture. This kinda angered me because I've been seeing tons of dog tracks and my dad saw two dogs before he got in the stand one day. I heard another deer running behind me about 5 minutes after that. Then a couple minutes later here comes a bunch of barking dogs. Because of all the sign of dogs I had planned on shooting them if they came to me. I couldn't do it though. I got up and decided if I could get them to follow me to the house I'd get em in the truck and drop em off far away. Instead they took off running. So I said to hell with it, it should start raining soon and I went back towards the house. Then I see them chasing rabbits out of a big spot we left in the pasture for deer to bed up. They ran and hid... I was pissed at that point so I waited 5-6 minutes and they wouldn't come out. I decided just to come back home.

Well the main point of this is, my dad and I spend tons of money on hunting and work hard to put in our food plots. I'm probably not gonna be nice and let them go next time. I know they might be some little kid's dogs but it'll be a lesson learned.

I shoulda just shot the doe

Anyways... Would you have shot the dogs?
