Hunters shooting my dogs

If i'm in a stand, and I've spent $600 per year, plus put in several work days, to "Stand hunt" , and a dog comes my way while disturbing all of the deer movement in the area, don't be surprised if you never see your "best freind" again, -ever.
 
I feel for you, but it is ultimately YOUR decision where you dogs should roam. I have been in hunting clubs that stated that Dogs wearing a collar will be given one pass, and then will be shot.

I don't let my dogs get out. But before you decide to be fun and take up aim on a domesticated canine... just remember these words to the wise. Shoot my dog.... its not going to be pretty. You won't be in a deer stand, again, -ever.

I'm confused by your statement, Javelin.

I don't let my dogs get out.

Then this shouldn't be a problem for you.

Presumbably, a stand usually means that its on that person's property. Granted, I would be making an assumption here. But even so...

Are you saying that you'd kill a person who shot a dog running on his property?


I'm a huge animal lover. At the same time, I've shot dogs with collars when hunting. I'll do it again. The dogs that I've shot have had one thing in common: They've been Walker Hounds that Dog hunters throw out on the road by our land and run through our land to where they set up. Should I reconsider that? Should I let these hunters exploit my land that I pay taxes on every year? Should I let them ruin MY hunts that I've paid hundreds of dollars to plant plots and build stands?


Bottom Line: If your dog gets off your property and gets shot, the only one to blame is you. If you say your dog doesn't get out, then why bother making threats?

Haha. You make it sound so evil* JWarren.

I do want to make one distinction, however.

Right now, I have a neighbor's blundering idiot Black Lab puppies that are coming onto my land, and usually in my yard. I'd not shoot them. If they ever become a problem, I'll go talk to the neighbor. As it is, they are harmless and entertaining to watch.

Well, I'm a first year vet student and animal lover- that being said I shot a dog that was killing our barn cats. I knew who's dog it was and had asked them twice. I think you should always give them at least one pass(unless they're killing animals right and left and you catch them in the act) it's courtesy, most animals escape once in awhile. if it's persistent thats a little different

True enough. But I don't give warning to Dog Hunters who run through our property. I figure they lost the right for courtesy when they willingly violated our Posted land. Since most of the ones I've seen have been hanging around their trucks drinking beer, it is unlikely that I'll get a reasonable discussion out of them anyway. And considering that I would have already lost all respect for them, its a bad proposition.

I agree I was talking about giving the animal a pass. Humans who knowingly tresspass, I have little remorse for
