Neighbor dog on my property harassing wildlife

I'm sure she takes the dog there everyday , So put up some signs that say cameras in use..... And stake up a few signs on the grass......

...there are more than enough of dog owners who are very inconsiderate. This thread wouldnt start & continue if there wasnt. Everything from dog poop to dogs in trash, to dog attacks. Probably goes back to the way they were raised.

Some dog owners are specific examples of the group of people who do not believe rules apply to them or what they have to do or say is so important, that it justifies breaking the rules.

I don't throw a fit. I just tell the few trespassers to leave and not come back. No need to get excited and probably better not to as hunters are generally armed and I always am.

I am kind of amazed that you have trespassing hunters at all. In seven years I have had on night hunter run through the property. If it wasn't for the trail camera, I wouldn't have even known about it.

I have a had a couple of adjoining property hunters ask if they could retrieve shot game that might run onto might property. I tell them sure, give them my phone and ask that they text so I know not to fire in their direction. Not a big deal, Heck, I am happy for them that they are filling a tag.

I have to laugh (not at you, but what you wrote). Hunters around here have ZERO, I mean ZERO regard for private property. Some of em are suit & tie types that become " weekend macho men " shoot a deer and drag it home to the ol lady to show them what a man they are :laughing: The good hunters ask permission and dont leave a trace and offer compensatory property help.
I farm a property owned by a guy who lives 200 miles north of me. Its his weekend getaway property, but he rarely uses it. Real real nice fella. He wont run any of them off the property. They have their tree stands lined up about 100' apart along the woods edge of the hay fields for thousands of feet.:laughing: Once in a blue moon one will get a deer. Then theyll lose track of the poor sob in the middle of the hay field and leave the bones there to find one of my $1500 tractor tires the following summer.:thumbdown: I bow hunt a little and kill tons of varmits. I get the attraction to hunting, but I gotta tell ya, I hate trespassing their stupid tree stands and their stupid dogs like not much else.
Inconsiderate, ignorant people they are and the dog is just a representation of its owner.

Over the years, I have had a couple of bobcats and coyotes come within a few feet of me while turkey hunting.

Couple years ago Son and Grandson were in tree stand. Rattling antlers for a deer call. A Bobcat came to investigate the sound and left. 15 minutes later Grandson heard a cat purring. The Bobcat had came back and was napping behind their tree. Later that season Son was rattling and he thinks the same Bobcat started up the tree he was in. He raised his hand. It stopped climbing staring at him for a few seconds then jumped down and walked away.

A few years back, my immediate next door neighbor had chickens that would take up residence on my property next to my driveway. Getting out of the car, they would aggressively swarm you until the rooster showed up to press home the attack. In addition to droppings and feathers, the nesting areas started under my trees.

Talking with my neighbor got the response "you are in the country..deal with it".

The chickens soon became fox and hawk food, the hawk was actually shot at by the neighbor while it was over my property.

Eventually nature won out.

And I didn't have to exercise my second amendment rights.

All these discussions on property boundaries and trespassing do not take into regional state laws.
I'm not a lawyer, though I do sleep with one at night, but I know the laws in Vermont were that I could generally hunt on other peoples land UNLESS it was POSTED whereas in Mississippi all land is "NO TRESPASSING" by default.

Dealing with it could have meant chicken soup.
