Perhaps they just don't want to leave their rifle laying in the woods somewhere? Just because they are there with a gun doesn't mean they're trying to kill deer on the road. As much as you hate it, trying to catch dogs on the side of the road is 100% legal. They own it as much as you do.

Great. I bet it isn't ballsack deep swamp.

I'm not a huge fan of dog hunting but I would be more than willing to bet most complaining don't have the balls to handle it like witz whatever his Name is And I bet most have been too chicken shite to confront the people doing it.
I also have major issues with banning stuff. That's a chicken shite way of dealing with it.

I own land in Franklin County, MS and the dog hunters are a serious problem. If you don't know about their activity here or are just in complete denial of the actions of these people so be it. But as a landowner it is nearly impossible to run a Quality Deer Management Program on my own land due to the incessant dogs being dragged off our land. Had to leave my Thanksgiving dinner across the road from our house to go talk to dog owners driving into our driveway to retrieve their dogs from our land..so yeah, they know what they are doing is not appreciated. We've talked with them and with the wardens and the vast majority of these people have been drinking all day and are from out of state, it's a bad situation.

Glad to know you hate one of the oldest forms of hunting.

I didn't say I hate the type of hunting, it's fine if you can stay on your own place. I said I hate the outlaws who do it around my property.

Or in their truck parked right behind them on the side of the road.

Except for the guy who bragged about killing a nice buck on my property using my fence as a rest. He bragged to the wrong folks and it got back to me...

I agree, but they know deer follow the creek out and so they turn them loose on their property and drive around to my property to hunt. Also, did I mention it's a major highway? Catching them is fine, you don't need a gun to catch dogs.

It's not. Mostly pine timberland where dogs aren't necessary. I kill deer off my little piece of property without dogs... Did I mention they have over 3000 plus acres and I'm hunting a tract about 40 acres.

Like I said, it just so happens I'm on a prime creek bottom and everything coming out of those woods uses it.

I have no problem if you stay on your property, the guys around me are the kind that "have been hunting here for years" yet we've owned it since 1992.
