Yes, moron fits.
Yes, moron fits.
I never said anything about trespassing.
You don't like dogs for running deer....cool.
I'm just thankful that most people are much more understanding of dogs and fun-loving guys like me that enjoy hunting them.
There are a-holes that would intentionally do the things you are saying. Especially if they knew how much it would irritate you.
But I'm not one of them.
I have upset one young man while dog hunting. My dogs ran a deer by him and he missed. Then he begin to curse me for scaring HIS deer off. The one that the dogs had been on for about 2 1/2 miles. I apologized profusely and I truly was sorry that he was upset. But that stuff happens inevitably with dog hunting. We weren't trespassing, by the way. We were hunting our land that we had given him permission to hunt. Either way, we intruded on him, at least to some degree.
I think we just need to be a little bit more understanding. If dogs cause persistant problems, that's different.
But most decent dog men (and most are very decent), will try to minimize these problems as much as possible.
In a sentence---get that corn cob out of your a** and relax a little.
It's just a dang deer.

how could you shoot a dog? Regardless if hes running your deer...thats someones friggen pet dude....not cool at all. It's a sport...not a fight. You cant control where a dog goes...and out of spite for him calling you a city boy...which you probably are...and probably looked like one...i dont think you should have shot his dog out of vengence for him "messing up your deer hunt". He's in the same boat you are...hes a hunter...hunting how he hunts. If you shot my dog...id friggen cut the tree you were sitting in down and burn your property...cause my dog....IS MY BEST FRIEND. I think you shooting a dog shows how much of a coward you are and how lousy it really is...that just because a dog scared all of your poor lil deer away...you had to shoot his pet...how phucked up.

I respected him and his land, right up till he made it a point to show me he was going to what he wants... on my land? hell no.
Good luck pal.

My point is you don't know jack about what you're talking about.
You're right about keeping your dogs away from people who don't want them around. If you can't control your dog, keep him at home. It's easy to say when you don't know anything about dog hunting. Dogs hunt instinctively--you can't control that.
Now, if I have a neighbor who doesn't like my dogs on his property, I do everything I can to keep them off and far away. It doesn't always work out though. But he is not a moron. He would never shoot a dog. He would call and ask me to keep them away.

Here, they can drop dogs off on one square foot of their property on the side of the road and let them runall over everyone else's land. This year, they lost their lease on one side of us so they've moved to the other. Now, the dogs come from the other direction and they can't shoot anywhere on my road. When I hear them, I just stand on my property or the property I'm allowed to hunt. They can't shoot, so if the dogs run one out it's mine. If they protest, they'll protest with the GW. Oddly enough, now that they know it's useless to put the dogs out anywhere around here it's almost ended and I've seen way more deer from my stand.

Where are you from Beezer? Dog owners like that around here are "taken care of" by concerned citizens. If that's all you see, then I can certainly understand your attitude. It's just not that way in south Arkansas.

I'm from South Carolina chicken. And don't get me wrong, I know all who hunt with dogs aren't bad. It's the bad ones that ruin the reputation of all of them. I could hop in the truck with a few around here and go hunt no problem. In my opinion, I don't see it as challenging when hunting deer. Coon, possum, bird, etc...I can see, but not deer. If it's what others enjoy,I don't mind. I run the mindset of most others here, so be it as long as I don't have to deal with it. I bowhunt, like I do most other things, because I like to do things the hard and challenging way. I don't see having dogs run a deer out of the woods as being much of challenge. On the other hand, I don't see shooting an animal at 300yds much of one either.....but to each his own.

RE: Hunting deer with dogs, what is your opinion?
Please don't bite my head off but, I live and hunt in a area that has die hard dog hunters in it. We have clubs that are anywhere from 25,000 to 100,000 thousand acres. Not every one is as lucky as we are for that very reason. I am a still hunter because my daddy never dog hunted. My wife and her family have run dogs for 60 years. My 4 year old son loves to dog hunt to the point that just tonight I have picked up 2 dogs for him this weekend while hunting with his poppa. I guess what I am babbling about is that we can all enjoy outdoors the way we want if everyone would practice more respect for the fellow hunter. I have seen people dump a box full of dogs on top of a spot where someone is trying to still hunt and that is wrong. But I have also sat in a tree with deer feeding under me and have a pack of dogs run by and it not bother them at all.
