RE: Eliminating Running Dogs
as the old saying goes," a rotten apple will spoil the whole barrell".
I hunt with dogs and agree with the idea (if it doesn't belong to you stay the hell off).
there are the ones that always put there dogs onto soneones land to run the deer off.all I can say is,shame on them.just kick there A$$.(Please don't shoot the dogs,they are only doing what they were trained fore.)
as for the deer population growning with out the dogs.we have run dogs for as long as I can remember and we are getting more and more deer every year!!we have three times the deer we had 10 years ago. so dogs don't have anything to do with the population!! take it from someone that has looked from daylite till 9 or 10am just to find a track to put a dog on. now we just have a problem trying to figure which one we Want to run.
just MY 2 cents,there are 98 more!!!<img src=icon_smile_wink.gif border=0 align=middle><img src=icon_smile_approve.gif border=0 align=middle>
I am not a hunter I am a whitetail population reduction specialest
remember keep your back to the sun, your knife sharp, and your powder dry.

My hunting land is on the border of 2 counties with a dirt road dividing them. On my side (Montgomery county) it is illegal to hunt with dogs. On the other side of the dirt road (Richmond county) it is legal. The problem we have is the "dogers" will let their dogs out in Montgomery county and run the deer over to their county. We've seen this happen several times and have confronted them on a few occasions. They have little or no respect for anyone. They have come on our posted property to "find their dogs". Last year one of them walked right under my buddies stand "looking for his dog". After hearing the yelling match they had going I got out of the stand and walked over. We ran the guy off and explained to him he would be busted for trespassing if caught again and from that point on his dogs would be shot if they were on our land.
As far as banning dog hunting, I don't think it will increase the deer population because the dog hunters around us seem to take less deer than we do without dogs.
I'm not bashing all the dog hunters. If it's legal and you enjoy doing it, I have no problem with it at all. I do have a problem with the ones that have no respect for other hunters. They, like poachers give hunting a bad name.
