jroot ,

Do you wake up looking for something to criticize??? A few things for your consideration...

1. When I use the term "my deer", i'm simply referring to the deer I hunt, like most other people do. I don't feel like they belong to me, and you know that.

2. Loose runing dogs ARE different than other predators. It is a known fact that dogs can and do kill deer when allowed to run loose. I don't mind natural predation, because it's NATURAL. But I can't stomach the thought of some stupid mutt running through the woods chasing"MY deer". If you can resolve it by talking to the owner or through the law, fine, and that's what I recommended first in BOTH posts. If not , it becomes a matter of priorities to me. I'd rather kill a whole pack of loose running dogs than have them kill, mame, stress, etc. one of the deer on my property.

3. Your solution at this point was to "jerk a speed bump on the owner's head".
Yeah, that's a mature way to handle it.

4. Helpful advice - Get a better grip on reality if you are wanting to try to correct me.
