I was wondering if there's anything I can do about deer dogs running onto my property. I knew they were running dogs on the adjacent property and while I wasn't thrilled, what can I do, it's their lease. But....then I heard two or three running onto, then across my property chasing something. Fast forward 20 minutes or so, and two of them ran across my shooting lane then turned away and ran North, but still on my property.

I spoke to the hunters about this and they didn't seem to give two shits about it. I also asked if they hunted with any rules, and they pretty much laughed saying, "Nah, but that's dog hunting though."

I've put some good money and plenty of time planting food plots, putting up stands, etc. and I'm very selective with which deer I take. I'm a little pissed that these guys allow their dogs to run all over my land and pressure deer that otherwise wouldn't be all that pressured. I've got a great stand of hardwoods,a spring fed creek, and my strip of land can be considered a safe haven since both sides are hunted regularly.

Is there anything I can do?

Well, I think you really have three options:
1. Shoot the dogs (on your property of course).
2. Get LE involved.
3. Deal with it.

Maybe, if you own your property, you could in touch with the property owner of the land they lease and work it out with them.

That's the shite I don't like right there.

We started trapping them and letting the dog owners (neighbors mutts not hunting dogs) and the local pound deal with it.

frickING tired of inconsiderate dog owners and driving 4 hours to hunt only to watch useless dogs run my deer.

I just don't have the heart to shoot them.

I would definitely attempt to lease the land out from under the dog hunters.

1. Talk to them about it (good luck)

2. Start shooting everything you see in front of their dogs. They don't like you shooting in front of their dogs lots of times.

3. Catch the dogs. Per LA state law, you can charge them up to I think it's $150 per dog to get them back.

4. Make it well known to them that you have gotten a new member in the club who is out there trappings coyotes, foxes, and other critters, and mean it. They don't like walker hounds with broken legs.

If you lease a piece of property knowing the property adjacent runs dogs it is inevitable at some point you will see dogs.

I get why people kill them. It must suck to drive several hours to your expensive property only to have the dogs ruin your hunt. I personally couldn't do it, but seriously, I get it. Now, OP, what I would do is trap them and give them to a shelter or tell them that you have an interest in trapping coyotes as others have mentioned. They wont dare to put their dogs back on your place if it means an expensive trip to the vet.

please refrain from shooting the dogs IF they have a collar. Know somebody who did and it turned out to be a three time world champion squirrel dog lmao.

Be ready for a world of shite if you plan to shoot those hounds. If you do decide to and I would if i were you, keep that on the down low. Be smart about it. Dont say shite to anyone or you will have to pay the piper if you know what I mean.
