I Love Dogs

It’s been over 20 years ago a guy up the road had a pack of part Beagles he let run loose.They were constantly running deer and coyotes all over my and neighbors property,day and night..Every day I hunted I would hear them,occasionally I would see them but I never got a shot at them.Very frustrating.

Suddenly they all disappeared.Talking to a neighbor about what happened to all those dogs.
He told me he wired about a dozen Conibear 330 beaver traps to trees about knee high,baited them with pieces of sausage.If you’re familiar with those traps it’s instant death.

Sounds harsh but sometimes you have to do what you have to do.
I would have never thought about doing that,I didn’t have any of those traps anyway but the neighbor did because beavers would dam up a creek that passed through their property and flood their trees.

Anyway,I was glad they were all gone and I feel it was better than poison which was about the only other option.

Gonna try this.

I can't tell you how many times I've tracked deer with my dogs and bump deer off the same corn pile my dogs were just standing and pottying next to as we're walking out the woods.

People seem to forget that coyotes coexisting with deer are a thing.

Maybe try a hot wire around the food plot or near the neighbors fence line?

The property I was referring to and where I live now was my grandfathers farm.
When I was a kid and grandparents were alive everyone around had a yard dog,I mean a fence where the dog stayed.Dogs were not allowed to run free.
Any dog running loose got shot.That’s the way it was,people,didn’t tolerate it then and no reason they should now.

The real scumbags are dog owners that let their dogs run free and ruin other peoples enjoyment of their property,chase and/ or kill their animals.Dogs that run loose are in danger of getting run over by cars,I see a dead dog on the highway at least every week.Another thing these days is coyotes will sometimes kill a dog.

Responsible dog owners keep their dogs on their property.

Anybody that would kill somebody's dog over deer hunting is a certifiable scumbag

Spend thousands of dollars and enormous amounts of time on your lease/propeety only to have it fricked up by assholes letting their dogs run the deer then get back to us.

It’s very frustrating. I have never shot a dog from my stand but wanted too.

Judging by the downvotes, we have a bunch of dog killing sons of bitches on the outdoor board. Yikes.

Nah, we have a bunch of posters who take their deer hunting seriously.

If I did that, it would be bear city.

I feel like there’s some kind of misconception that you’re talking about gunning down the neighborhood bernadoodle who just happened to get out of the yard when this topic comes up. All of the dogs I’ve had problems with have been half-wild, starving, and uncared for by whatever idiot that claims them and lets them run wild. Not much difference between that type and a yote, in my opinion.
