    Well one of the bucks i was waiting for from last year showed up and he down graded. Thought for sure he would have gotten a bigger rack but actually became a main frame seven. He showed not too long after first light tonight. Haven’t decided if I’ll shoot him yet but he is five i believe this year. With this rain/temp drop, I might get a shot at him tomorrow.

    This evening and tomorrow seems killer, the weather actually showed up. I’m going to be out tomorrow evening, north wind, high pressure blue bird skies! Heading after a couple good bucks on an oak flat. Almost killed a big one at the same spot last year on 10/7 with almost identical conditions.

    So i got an issue with these dogs always running/chasing deer on my private ground. Landowner tells me to shoot them. They have killed his chickens twice now. The neighboring landowner who the dogs belong to just keeps letting his dogs breed and now he has probably 15 dogs. I get a different pack of dogs about one or twice a week. Today they chased a buck and got pictures of it. Landowner said you see them shoot them. What would you do? Been dealing with this for 3 years now. Surprisingly the deer seem have adapted to it but they did ruin a hunt last year by chasing all the deer out of the field i was hunting.

    I’d be sure to know the laws and if you could be in trouble before shooting one
    Maybe try calling animal control

    That’s tough, I couldn’t shoot dogs and don’t shoot cats either. I’d pay to get the neighbors dog spayed! Call around and see what your options are, but there gonna mess your property up more than the dogs if you have them come stomping around now. Sucks man!

    Yeah I don't really want to shoot them but our county won't do anything cause they said the dogs have food water and shelter and the owner of these dogs just keep saying oh they get off the chain, when obviously they don't even have enough chains to chain up all their dogs. I'm gonna talk to the sheriffs office again but probably won't get anywhere. My landowner will end up shooting them if he sees them cause he is pissed that they have killed his chickens twice.

    Good idea to speak to LE. I had a farmer tell me the same thing. If I see dogs chasing deer to kill them. In Pa you can shoot a dog if it’s actually running a deer.
