I was running midday on friday. Had about a mile left snd heard a fawn bleating. Ran to the sound and found the neigbor down the rd dogs killing a fawn. Ran em off it and and tried to save it but it died from its injuries. Then today coming home look down a fencroe seperating one of my hayfields from a beanfield and saw this deer hanging . I knew she wasnt there an hour earlier. Had to cut a strand of wire and fell out. The bone was exposed but the leg wasnt broken. She rested for a moment and ran off with a limp. I have had to cut out a dozen or so over the years and have found several that i didnt notice.
Rough day and a half in the holler….

Time for those dogs to go.
This pic is from june 16th. Same thing that day. Our deer population is through the roof. So the loss of 2 fawns is a big deal, but i hate to see

Seen a very chocolate fawn last week with subdued spots, most beautiful deer I have ever seen, 1/2 mile from the house in the road. looked to be a month or 2 old. I don't run camera's but that's almost enough to make me run out and buy a couple. Hate to see any animal die because folks won't keep their dogs up.

Free-ranging dogs are the bane of my existence. Too many people move to the country and think, "Now I can let my dogs run free!" NO!

Wild dogs on Ft Benning were a big-big problem that the 3-Ss took care of.
Not allowing people to run dogs on my land cost the dog owners many hundreds in fines....
A (born on 3rd base) landowner in my area put up EIGHT strands of barbed wire (8 plus with a 9GA tension wire on top), around his property and just about every BT has deep barbed wire cuts on their ears.
"Being born on 3rd base isn't a problem until they go around acting like they hit a triple".

Bobby Worthington would tell you that dogs will ruin a deer property faster than anything.
It puts me in a predicament because i have a heart and those dogs are just doing what dogs do unchecked. Not entirely their fault.

The fault is not with the dogs, it's with the owners who don't care their dogs are ruining your hunting and management. All of the dogs that give me fits are wearing collars. They are neighbors' pet dogs. But they run my place day after day after day. I get video after video of them tearing through my food plots chasing deer. Drives me nuts.

Same. Probably not quite as bad, but it sucks. One dog I drive by on the way to our place and he nips at my tires. Thought about putting non-disclosure memos in several mailboxes that trapping for coyotes was in effect in the area and for them to keep their dogs leashed. Several times there have been a group of dogs roaming that all the surrounding landowners didn't know who they belonged to and that they were menaces. Those were shot on sight by all.
