Ive always figured its a small percentage of houndsmen that act like laws dont apply to them and bring a bad reputation upon themselves....I also figure based on your responses that your are likely a part of the small percentage. What a shame.

Before fences and fence owners

O your dogs may well never leave his property. I take it you only own your house in a subdivision or small acreage. sounds like the typical city person that moves to small acreage and thinks they can just let their dogs run loose. I have made many of those people's dogs no longer alive over the years.

Those dogs look like theyd be fun to hunt behind. Only problem I see is a fella might not get much trigger time as them dogs likely catch em before you can shoot em.

PF you better check Indiana's hunting dog laws again. They have the right to retrieve the dog. And I sure wouldn't shoot a hunting dog unless he was harming livestock.

Killing hounds because they trespass while in pursuit ?

I'm going to refrain from responding to that one.

did you read Any of my post. I clearly stated previously I don't shoot dogs unless they are causing problems and listed instances I consider problems that have made dogs dead. Killing chickens, chasing my horses across the pasture, growling at my kids, growling at me in my barn. Also that the sheriff told me my best option was to shoot them .

what I didn't say Is where the dogs came from. They came from the recently devided farms split into about 2 acres and double wides moved in. They had diggerman mentality and thought they lived in the country now not the trailer park any more and they could let their dogs run all they wanted to. Got mouthy whe asked nicely to control them. Then unfortunately their dogs paid the price for their ignorance.


Diggerman seems to thing the bear on privet land is his and he is entitled to it if you don't fenc your land off . His mind set is quite similar to the trailer trash red neck want a be's I felt with in my early 20s. I'm sure he also doesn't respect people's property rights.

I never have shot a dog not causing issues or a threat to me or my kids. I hate having to do it but it's the owners that are the problem and you can t legally do anything about them. But the dogs the cops say to shoot them. so the dogs pay tor the trash owners mistakes.

he is a great example as to why hound hunters are looked down on and its been getting shut down. But in his mine it's everyone else that in the wrong. After all That bear on your land is his bear. that single quote in my post above shines a very bright light.

I’ve always been amazed just how far your an average dog will stray from home. I just have landowners watch FB for missing dog posts and I look the folks up on OnX. Farthest so far was 5.7 miles as the crow flies. Folks don’t really care about their pets.

I had a what I was told was a king shepherd looking in the open barn door one night. Took him to the house with me feed and water. Wife posted pictures of him on a few local fb group pages. He belonged about 7 miles away. Fellow and dog where both sure happy when I took his back home to him. Dog had nothing on his collar. No tags or phone numbers. It's the rare times like that I think Facebook is positive and useful vs all negative.

I miss the days when if the landowner was not hunting himself nobody cared if you shot a bear. Competition hunting will end all of it. you really think that was the only bear in the county? Neighbor had to tell him. Nobody was even there.

So because he wasn't there, trespass laws don't apply? By that logic, you shouldn't mind if a homeless person takes a nasty dump in your master bathroom every day when you're gone to work.

If it was me, I would find out who it was and buy them 100 pounds of quality dog food. They deserve a hearty thank you for terminating that fawn killing varmit.

Lol....that's another way to think of it...

These trespassing posts always amaze me…

I don’t want some trespasser digging up my jars of gold coins.

It's not about the bear. I don't even care that they went onto my property to retrieve their dogs. But that's where it should have ended. It's called respect. I'm not sure what moral code you live by, but I make sure I stay the (This word is unacceptable on Trapperman) off other people's land.

Lol

I dont trespass. Its your property. You have every right to deny access. I grew up in a world where nobody cared. I miss it.

Yep those days are gone forever....sad
