See i guess with the club i hunt in i dont see the problems with our dogs going onto someone elses land and having these issues that others have. Our club hunts all private owned farm land and everything around it is a hunter who hunts with us. So if our dogs go out the hunt they are still on our land that we can hunt and have access to. Not sure where you are located at brewman but i understand your arguement and what you think should be done and i agree. I would be pissed if people were all over my land and didnt have permission to. i have a cattle gate up on the path so people cant just drive all over my paths and tear them up anymore, that pisses me off and i know where your coming from with it also. Really pisses
me off when i see shotgun shells laying on the path where they came in our property and shot the deer, i have actually seen where they drug the deer down the path to the truck and then they had the nerve to clean the deer and left the carcus in our cutover right off the path. But that defenitly isnt how I hunt or anyone in our club do it. Yes i know of others that do this and i dont hunt with them clubs or go around them, they are the ones who you are cussing and they are
the ones that will ruin the dog hunting.
Ohboy....you seem like a good guy and you hunt with a club that respects others around them.....I don't hunt with dogs...never have in my 46 years of hunting.....to those that do fine...It's just another way to hunt....and I wouldn't want it banned just like I wouldn't want bowhunting banned.....I just wish the dog hunters would learn to respect others that are hunting on private property....two week ago I was hunting in Louisa and had two dogs run around the woods I was in for over 1 hour barking their heads off until they finally left...I saw three does making their way through the woods browsing as they walked....the dogs came and I never saw any deer the rest of the day.......i'v also found spent shells on my property....and other signs of hunters being on it .......don't know if it was guys with dogs or not...dosn't matter .....either way they didn't belong and as you said they give ALL hunters a bad name....
