I would never be able to shoot them, BUT, I have explained to folks that if the dogs are allowed to run free, I wouldn't shoot, but know people that hunt there that will. haven't seen the dog in the woods since. that is sad though, the guy is putting his dogs life on the line because he is too ignorant to simply acknowledge the request of someone else.

Honestly, I would not shoot the dogs either.. I have too much respect for someone's pets.. I have a dog myself and could not imagine what I would do to someone if I caught them shooting my golden retriever.. I would however call the dog catcher or police and explain the situation. Or just take the dogs home with you for an extended visit.

We have a dog warden in this county. Little lady does it. I can just imagine her reaction if I called and told her I was in the middle of a 300 acre forest and here were some dogs running around loose. In all honesty, she'd probably TRY to find them...she's dedicated. My uncle was in a tree stand early last fall, and had two hug dogs running deer all around his property. After the 2nd day it happened, he took a rifle with him on the 3rd day and fixed the problem.

Exhaust your legal options first such as contacting the sheriff/animal control , and if that doesn't work contact your F&G department and ask if it's legal to shoot dog that harrass wildlife . If you can't bring yourself to shoot them then you'll just have to live with them until someone else does .

The last dog that was "removed" on my friends land was a great dane.
