DaveH, I would say report these dogs to the DOC. Like I said earlier, it is illegal in Illinois for dogs to chase/harrass wildlife. So I would imagine it might be illegal in many other states. Video tape and take it in if they need proof.
Like many have said, I wouldn't do it for an occasional dog walking through the woods. But if it continually
chases deer and the owner has been warned, well than it is either the DOC or me to take care of the problem. And as hard as it is to get a DOC officer to respond to our calls around here, it will more than likely be in my hands. I have never had to do and I don't plan on doing it any time soon, but if it happens...it happens.
Like I said in my earlier post, I have warned the neighbor about his dog. But that warning was basically right before slug season and slug season brings out some of the best killers in the woods....not necissarily hunters.
hey guys, better use your real name for your logon ID or it automatically reveals you as a fake! oh yeah, and everybody who is new to the site, until you post a 100 messages or become a lifemember your "bogus". Sorry!
dogdr, I will beat david to this one. When you have been around here as long as him or I, you will understand where he is coming from. There is always somebody coming in here, stirring the pot and then leave and never be heard from again. If you are for real, please stay and enjoy the sight and don't hold any grudges over on people from this topic. If you do, you might loose out on a chance to know some great people.
