Dogs crusie through may property often and It amps up during hunting season when it seems the bitches come in heat more. I have had them come under my stand and 5 mins. later a deer walks by. Some people need to take a chill pill and get their panties out of a wad. Aholes are on both sides of the fence but that does not mean we all have to be one.

Wow ! I'm just curious as to why ? Are you just reading all this and getting fired up or are you serious ?

I would say that 99% of it is internet bad assery.

I doubt many of them would be prepared to go to jail (or die themselves) over fido.

Yeah, lot of keyboard bad asses out there. In real life however bullets fly in both directions and there is no guarantee who will win a fight. Being pissed off over a dog does not make you able to whoop ass like Bruce Lee or add any metal plating to bullet proof your ass. Go on another person's land with violent intentions and you are just as likely to end up getting your ass buried right beside your dog as you are to kill them.

spoken by a man who aint never had 20 pissed of hardcore dog hunters roll up on them. I'm just telling you whats gonna eventually happen if you shoot folks hunting dog. You aint gotta like it, or agree with it. You can say its internet talk or whatever. And I cant speak for all dog hunters, but I'm telling you without a doubt what will happen if you shoot one of ours. You'll think bruce lee and his brother done got ahold of you!

Hunting pine goats has gotten way too serious and complicated.

I've seen some hardcore dog hunters in Mobile & Washington county take and blow a dogs brains out or just dump em on the side of the road because he or she wouldn't run a deer, which was probably better for the dog because they were half dead from starvation anyhow...

I run two squirrel dogs all hunting season, and I run the latest Garmin TT system. I'm forced to hunt mainly WMA's until Feb 10th when there's not a deer hunt, so I travel quite a bit to give to have a good time and to let them do what they live for. I do my best not to crowd other hunters, but with a cur and a feist, they can easily hunt over 80-100-120 acres in a 2-3 hour hunt. I have 170 acres that I own, and I still don't hunt on it until after deer season goes out, because there's a deer club that touches a half mile of my southern boundary. The deer club president and I talk, being that we are neighbors, and I still don't want to run the risk of them treeing off my property on them, and screwing up any of the member's hunts, and having anyone even think of pulling the trigger on one.

These dogs double as pets and are as loyal to me and my family as any dog a man could have. I have two sons 10 and 5 that would be destroyed if some jack-rump shoots one of them.. not to mention a pretty upset me.

I purposefully go out of my way to minimize the chances of my dogs screwing up anyone's deer hunt... to the point of me passing up very huntable land until the orange army has left the woods. It's a pisser for squirrel hunters, because I that only leaves me three - four weekends to hunt at the end of the year. And just in case you're wondering,the time ahead of deer season DNR gave us to make up for extending the deer season into Feb is not good, because the leaves are still on. Early season squirreling is OK for still hunting... not so much for scanning for hidden, treed squirrels. And I still hold my breath every time I take them out, praying that we don't accidentally bump into some crazy deer hunter (or poachers out of season) that thinks I can control where two dogs go every second of every hunt.

treemydog, I respect the way you do it, but the problem is you are in the minority with the way you do things from my experience and I grew up dog hunting.

I suspect there are more of us that try to do things the right way than many would have you believe. Just remember that and us whenever the state finally decides to eliminate all forms of dog hunting except in February. I believe it's coming at some point.

I grew up rabbit hunting with beagles, deer hunting with hounds, coon hunting with hounds, bird hunting with pointers and setters, and now I like to watch the squirrel dogs do their thing. Hunting with well trained dogs can greatly enhance any hunting experience. Many hunters that only equate hunting with sitting in a tree or in a blind or shooting house for hours on end very seldom can appreciate this very historical way to pursue game. And just to even things up a bit, I also like to sit in a tree waiting for a deer to walk by, so I'd like to think I can appreciate both sides of the issue too. There are good and bad on either side of the fence.
