If you want to hunt deer with dogs go purchase your own property and fence it in and keep your dogs off of everybody else's property. WILL THIS REALLY BE THE ANSWER TO THE PROBLEMS YOU ARE REFERING TO?No, I mean working in the same manner as a farmer or gardener works the land and prepares the ground, plants, fertilizes and sprays etc. WELL I AM GLAD TO SEE YOU ARE DOING IT THE RIGHT WAY,I SEE SO MANY PEOPLE(STILL HUNTERS) HERE IN THIS AREA WHO JUST PUT OUT PILES OF CORN AND CALL IT FOR AGRICULTURAL REASONS,INSTEAD OF DOING IT THE RIGHT WAY.DO YOU MEAN PUTTING OUT PILES OF CORN?,
All dog hunters I know would not know anything about that because they let other people do that and then run the deer that we draw to our land with all the work we do. THE AREA I HUNT IS NATIONAL FOREST AND I HAVE NOT HAD THAT PROBLEM. SO IF THE DEER COMES FROM YOUR PROPERTY ACROSS THE ROAD AND INTO THE LAND YOU TELL ME I SHOULD BUY TO RUN DOGS ON,WHO DREW THE DEER IN AND WHO DOES IT BELONG TOWell my friend....I beg to differ, alot of other states have done it with very much success. Do a little research. I FOR ONE WILL FIGHT TOOTH AND NAIL FOR THE RIGHT TO KEEP IT HERE. LETS LOOK AT IT FROM ANOTHER ANGLE:IF BARAK OBAMA GETS HIS WAY THE "ASSAULT RIFELS WILL BE BANNED,SO IS IT RIGHT TO BAN ONE TYPE OF FIREARM AND NOT ANOTHER?AND HOW MANY PEOPLE ON HERE WOULD STOP HUNTING WITH THIER LABS,BEAGLES, BIRD DOGS AND COON DOGS? YOU CANT STOP ONE TYPE WITHOUT STOPPING ALL OF THEM
And just so ya know, I grew up and hunted (until around the age of 25) in a camp that hunted with dogs, I coon hunted for 15 years and raised treeing walkers for 9 of those years A TREEING WALKER AND A FOX ARE 2 TOTALLY DIFFERENT ANIMALS WHEN THEY ARE RUNNING GAME, I have 4 treeing fiest and 2 Jack Russell terriers now, so I know what it is all about.DANG!!!! I WISH YOU LIVED CLOSER I AM LOOKING FOR A FEIST AND SOMEONE TO TREE RAT HUNT WITH
My frustration lies in the deer dogs interfering with other peoples hunting and efforts to have quality deer on their property, a place to enjoy, relax. And the dog owners remarks like, "My dog can't read a posted sign" No respect for other peoples property or the rights that come with property ownership. You would not want someone to come to your house/yard without your permission or consent and lets say dump out a bunch of dogs on your lawn and they run your kids in the house, crap all over your yard, maybe tear up your favorite pair of boots, fishing rod etc. Or maybe if your neighbors might have a bunch of dogs that they turn loose and they come over on your yard/property doing something like the things mentioned above. You work hard, I am sure to have a nice yard, home, pair of boots, fishing rod, a place for your family and your kids to enjoy. Well we work hard to have a place for our family to enjoy by hunting, relaxing, and being in Gods great outdoors and I don't want other people dumping their dogs on my property, either. NO I WOULDNT WANT THAT AND I SEE YOUR POINT,AND I GUESS YOU ARE NOT SEEING WHAT I AM SAYING JUST BECAUSE YOUR NEIGHBOR DOES THESE THINGS ARE YOU GULTY TOO.
SO EVERYONE THAT RUNS DOGS IS THE PROBLEM WOULDNT THAT PUT YOU IN THE SAME CLASS........
My friend, I ain't mad... just trying to give some insight as to how it might feel if ya were on the other side of the situation. God Bless You.
I AM GLAD YOU ARE NOT MAD,NEITHER AM I. FACT IS AM GLAD WE ARE DISCUSSING THIS AS GENTELMEN.
