I’ll bet you guys had a good year deer hunting, as I did, but I’ll also bet it would have been better if it had not been for the trespassing dog deer hunters. Just remember that if you do not keep the AGFC posted on this issue, it will be forgotten.
My year started off with out of season running dog trespass at night and during the day. I finally got up with one trespassing dog runner and after our meeting I followed up with a certified letter to him explaining what had been discussed. To the best of my knowledge that person did not run his dogs on my place during the season. However others did trespass. During the season I had trespass at least every other day. On one occasion two dogs were caught and the Wildlife Officer contacted. The Wildlife Officer came to my place and I think responded very professionally. I don’t know what will be the consequence of that visit. Another dog hunter was running dogs behind my camp and was stupid enough to call at them from my driveway. I talked to him and I really don’t know yet if the meeting will help. This is just a little bit of what I experience every year. In any case I have vowed to keep the AGFC and the county prosecutor fully informed on my problem.
I hope you are doing the same.
