Sorry Chris, but you are incorrect. Tennessee's "leash law" does not apply to dog's "on a hunt or chase".

The "hunters" are trespassing.

Leash Law/Off-Leash Areas Sec. 6-32. Animals at large.

(a) No person owning or having possession, charge, care, custody or control of any animal shall cause, permit or allow the animal to stray or in any manner to run at large in or upon any public street, sidewalk or park or upon the property of another.
(b) Every person owning or having possession, charge, care, custody or control of any animal shall keep such animal exclusively upon his own premises; provided, however, that such animal may be off such premises if it is under the direct control of a competent person.
(c) This section shall not apply to a dog on a hunt or chase, nor a dog guarding or driving stock. This section shall not apply to any animal participating in an organized animal show.

Wow guess you are right, but I do remember they is a law that deals with them.

Call the adjoining landowner and explain the problem. Most rabbit hunters, including myself are good people and will most definately want to be good neighbors.

Most of us do everything in our power to keep our dogs where they are supposed to be. Every now and then it happens the other way.

Now, if you are dealing with idiots, throw my advice out the window. If you are dealing with the majority of rabbit hunters, your problem can be fixed.

Isn't a dog on your property, that you don't recognize, and does not have a collar on, properly identified as a coyote?

If so, can't it be treated as such?
