re: It's time to ban dog deer hunting

I know in Franklin County the patience of the game wardens and land owners has worn thin as well, as much like this thread there is little to no personal responsibility on the part of the dog hunters. I appreciate the passion of Down for his sport but it is exceeded by the passion of land owners (again in our area where it has been a big problem) for protecting their property rights. The whole community has tired of the abuse by a certain group of people..shooting anything, littering the roads and disrespect for the locals. It will continue to dwindle thankfully and I wish Down the best in his area.

Is dog hunting?

what? i was asking a legit question. you can hunt over bait (besides a green patch) in some states.

Yes you can hunt over nearly anything but sweet potatoes in Louisiana

So what good do you think banning dog hunting will do?

It'll keep my kids from getting to do it, and you'll still be dealing with the same bullshite. Congratulations, you just made the rule book thicker and got nothing out of it.

It's not personal opinions it's personal rights..maybe not the dog hunters but property owners.

It wasnt on this thread. Sorry shouldve specified. It was another massive 30 page thread on it a while back.

Jog your memory. They trespassed. I confronted stating private property. Came around road they radioed ahead and friend blocked road. Blocked in dss truck and pointed guns in our direction while chewing us out. Many drunk. Honestly thought there would be shots fired.
Thats the type of dog hunters i deal with. Jail is not a foreign place for them. They disregard law and others rights. It has been that way since i was starting hunting. Hasnt changed. I understand your argument and honestly believe you are a good hunter. I just dont think you fully understand the depth of the issue in my area

Agreed dpark but gotta raise fines or take their license for a year...all for people doing their individual thing legally

Fyi. Im not for banning dogs cause i respect your rights. I am for a tagging and trAcking system. I catch your dog, call the wardens. Give it to them and you get fined. Fines increase as the violations increase. They have tried this and it has been somewhat affective in areas
Same as if i get caught illegally baiting.

Ahh I remember now.

Don't remember calling you a liar. I might have though. I apologize if I did.

This is the point I've been trying to make the past few minutes. Who here thinks their dog hunting problems will even be affected by a ban?

What makes you think banning dog hunting will stop them from just dropping off some collarless hounds in the woods?


That's EXACTLY what happens here each and every year. Deer dogging is banned here. Through the years we have lost count of the dogs that we've had to put down because of unethical "hunters" going to the pound and turning loose packs of dogs just to keep the deer "stirred up". And let me tell you something else about these dogs: They get mean, vicious, aggressive, and dangerous in no time at all.

Those who want a ban need to carefully read this post
