Any dog owner who lets his dogs run on any hunting land during non dog hunting times is disrespectful of others and is nothing but a rogue uncontrolled selfish sportsman. Has nothing to do with still hunters who are not perfect BUT do not cause the problsm this OP is trying to address.
No, I'm merely pointing out not all dog hunters are rogues. You go west of the "dog line" and talk to landowners and see how disrespectful they feel still hunters are and report back what you find. In many parts of our state and country hunters in general are perceived as rogues by the non hunting public. I bet most non hunters don't know the difference between still hunting and dog hunting, especially outside the south.
You do make a valid point that I agree with 100%. All hunters need to stick together and clean our acts up. Otherwise we will continue to destroy ourselves from within.
