I agree w/you about punishing the dogs but I will try to catch them and break up that hunt as far as the hunters I've backed up to my property and THAT IS AS FAR AS I"M BACKING!!!!!!!

copy of post I made on local board on this subject
Don't get me wrong,I understand and enjoy some types of dog hunting(coon,bear,rabbit,retrievers) Deer hunting with dogs takes a lot of land to be done safely but by it's very nature of fast paced wide ranging animals being shot at when they are in open areas leads to a dangerous situation when done in a populated area,by fools that get that wild man look in their eyes and see nothing but the deer not thinking about downrange.These idiots will not listen to reason we've tried for several yrs.I hate to see any type of hunting banned but under these situations would support it. We have several so called clubs that hunt this area and it seems like a compition to get the deer before he leaves their area or just as soon as he does for surrounding clubs,none of which are very large.The largest about 2000ac next about 600ac,turns in to a free for all when the dogs cross lines. It's not all dog deer hunters causing problems but around here it is most of them
