Running Coyotes and Trespassing

[benjhind]

Skull1 you raise a very valid point. If you care about your dogs you should know whether there are traps set on land where you run them. Here in the very deep south, trappers are extremely cognizant of stray and even trespassing dogs. Bucket sets are rare, with most lethal sets either under water or up a pole. Personally I'm of the opinion that it isn't the dog's fault that the owner is an idiot, but I don't rely on fur for my income and don't want to judge.

The landowners in my block who don't allow trapping are farmers who live off their land. These aren't PETA folks from the city, they are hard-working people who choose not to allow hunting on their land. In my opinion, if you want to use dogs and you don't have permission from EVERY landowner between the roads, your only option is a leash.

Ya not a good thing. I have a landowner that hates those guys as they constantly run his bush and neighbours bush without permission....plus............it makes calling coyotes there tough on for me

Lots of unfenced property up here, grain fields for miles. Yet it is all private and you need permission. Easy enough to get if you ask, but for those that do not. It is simply trespassing and illegal hunting. A call to the cops can insure their practice will stop soon enough. I have no tolerance for trespassers

Where I used to live it was quietly becoming an issue, along with disregard for local firearms by-laws (some municipalities didn't allow rifles). Then the antis caught wind of it and fanned the flames. Anytime a local Council was considering a hunting related matter that was important to all hunters (e.g. Sunday gun hunting, amendments to firearms by-laws), the meetings were always dominated by arguments between coyote hunters and coyote huggers.

You still have to ask before you go on and work to keep the dogs off the places you do not have permission.

We used to have guys run their dogs "accidentally" right behind our camp, we are dog people but we know they did it on purpose.
