Dogs and trapping

[diamond hunter]

Tonight I released my 6th different dog since Ive been yote trapping on my 435 acres. Im not really sure what can be done.I havent caught the same dog twice. Its very discouraging. I really dont know what can be done. I love dogs and have my whole life.

I'm not sure what else you could do, after all it is your property and there is a leash law in TN.

I'd consider applying a fluorescent orange stripe down the middle of their backs before releasing. Irresponsible pet owners make their dogs someone else's problem.

I've never caught one but i tell all my neighbors that i trap and they need to keep their pets off before i set the first one. Some people just need to get a goldfish instead.

Collared recognized dogs get released. If I have some handy Ill tie some surveyors ribbon to their collar. One dog got a bag of garbage he was eating tied to his collar ! (he got in the snare I set up to catch the "raccoon" that was getting into our trash.

Other dogs without a collar are a judgement call. Wild ferals get the coyote treatment.
Others either get released or sent to the pound.
If you have caught 4 dogs this season, you either have a bunch of locals who let their dogs run wild, or garbage humans dumping their dogs in the country.

I have caught dogs 5 and 6 miles from any houses with collers on them. I release them and haven't seen them anymore

Wow! I don't trap but have great respect for those of you who do. Glad to hear you are releasing the dogs. It's a shame that people let their dogs run as much as they do. They are irresponsible to say the least.
