Limit should be 2 per day no more than one which is banded.

There are two bridges on the dirt road my land is on and only a couple of homes. A lot of the kind loving dog owners will bring their puppies and any extra dogs they have and leave them on the bridges. The puppies won't last a week but the older dogs will spend 3 or 4 weeks chasing anything to try and get something to eat. These dogs have ruined a many of my hunts. When they get so weak they can't chase any more the just die in the ditches or someone finally fells sorry for them and put them out on their misery by shooting them. This happens all the time. For every dog a hunter shoots there are 100s dropped off on a dirt road by a kind loving dog owner. I would never shoot one of my neighbors dog unless they told me to or a dog with a collar but don't say I'm cold hearted because some kind loving dog owner dumps his dogs out to starve to death and I have to put them down.

Shooting dogs is illegal. So is spotlighting, hunting over corn, littering and shooting road signs. All are public relations nightmares for the law abiding hunters and ammunition for the anti hunters. The law seems to support my belief that these individuals engaging in these acts are outlaws.

Depending on the circumstances, shooting dogs is not illegal and neither is shooting people. "The Law" actually offered to loan me a gun to handle our problem.

Going 56 in a 55 mph zone is illegal too. Its really easy for the = High and Mighty dog owner to point out its illegal to shoot tresspassing dogs = When their not the ones over run with dogs! Its illegal to kill a child rapist BUT how many people would blow the back of that bastards head off IF they could get away with it?????

Scratching the heck out of some else's car now...

Well, the alternative was skinning 3 inches of rubber off of a power outlet cord, placing it inside of a cardboard box just in front of a can of tuna. Cut a cathead-sized hole in the front of the box. Plug in the power cord and ...ZZZZZZZAAAAPPPP! KFC.

Your incident of shooting dogs harassing/killing livestock is well within your rights. The law clearly supports your actions. However those promoting the SSS protocol are by definition outlaws and I consider them slob hunters.

Yep...same thing with me last year, except I was in the tree settled in and here they come. They stood there barked a little and left....hour later here come big boy...Bang. They dont bother me unless they show aggression when Im in the woods.

We don't care what you consider us, you aren't considerate to hunters or dogs when you don't take care of your dog. I wish they had a law to lock up slobs that own dogs and don't care for them.
Can't you see some of the guys that are posting this are dog owners and they are sick of it too. If anyone is a slob its dog owners that can;t handle their business. Don't complain when someone does what you either can't or won't.

Doesnt really matter WHAT YOU concider them. The dog will still be dead ass hell~!

Believe that.

Hey partner, I'm in Winston County, not Walker. My wife is NOT livestock.

My dogs are safely in their kennels where they belong. I have way too much time and money invested in them to let them roam.

My apologies. I read wife's calf as a baby cow owned by your wife. I will shoot any dog that is people aggressive & that includes my own. Law is on your side

Exactly! Our two dogs live indoors, with us. If they're outside, we're outside. Both are trained and well-behaved, and respond when you tell them to come back, or cast them off in another direction other than the road.

Lets end this with some well cared for loving dogs who stay in the boundaries

I stopped by the house of the land owner of one of my leases the other day to ask about some activity on the property. While I was waiting for him to come to the door I counted 12 dogs laying in or walking around his yard. Do I like it that he has this huge pack; no. Would I ever shoot one of them; hell no. Theres been many times a couple of them have trailed me to my stand or chased each other or sometimes a deer by me. They don't ruin my hunt its just something else to watch when I'm in the tree.
Neighboring land owner on another lease has a bunch of field trial competition dogs. Sometimes they are annoying as hell to listen to when they get wound up in their pens. One of them got loose a couple of years ago and ran one of the biggest deer I've ever seen in my life up the bottom past me. Would I shoot that one? Not that one either.
Its just not worth losing a lease over or ticking off a neighboring land owner.
This actually happened years ago on some land that a buddy of mine and I were hunting for free. It was a prime piece of land with lots of deer. The only thing about the place was the land owner let another guy run rabbits on the place. No big deal to me I didn't care. One day my buddy was hunting and a dog comes sniffing around him and wouldn't leave so he hauls off and shoots it and leaves it lay in the woods. Turns out it was one of the rabbit guys dogs that he couldn't round up the day before. He came back and found the dead dog that afternoon. That was the end of us hunting 400 acres of prime land for free, or at all.
Lesson learned.

Loose lips sink ships.

The lesson from that is don't brag about it. Keep your mouth shut and no one get hurt.
