Our property backs up to public land. Since we are out in the sticks, a lot of people obviously hunt. I know absolutely nothing about rabbit or raccoon hunting other that the fact that trained dogs are let loose and have some sort of tracking device on their collars. Because of where I live, random dogs occasionally wander onto our property away from their hunting party or while they are being ran for practice. Thankfully, this does not happen often. Right now there are 2 hounds of some sort running around outside and my dogs are flipping out. Ziggy is going crazy barking out all the windows, Penny keeps circling the yard, and my sisters dog is making laps back and forth between thier house and ours. I'm pretty sure I know who they belong to, if the guy down the road that owns them doesn't retrieve them soon I might lose my mind. I tried to look him up but its an old non-working number. That's a vent for another day, its still listed with his ex-wife and they've been divorced for at least 2 years so that number has to have been disconnected a loooong time ago.

Yeah, I can see how that would be annoying. My dogs wouldn't appreciate that either.
Hope someone gets them soon!

A guy wearing camo on a side-by-side just went by with a dog crate strapped to the back. Lord help him, I hope he can fit both dogs into it. Penny doesn't leave our yard, so she sits at her "post" at the top of the hill in front of our house howling and barking, sounding the alarm to let everyone know something is awry.  |

I would hate that!
Can you/ would you want to complain to the local animal catchers/non-emergency police line?
If I had other people's dogs come onto my property, I would feel trapped (I'm afraid of dogs).

If I had other people's dogs come onto my property, I would feel trapped (I'm afraid of dogs). We live waaayyy out in the middle of no where. Other than my dad, the next house is 1/2 mile away. There is no humane society and only one pound in the county, which is a kill shelter. I would be willing to bet there is not anyone available for animal control on a holiday weekend. There's not an actual dog catcher that patrols, I think you have to call repeatedly to get them to pick up strays that are a nuisance. If we called the police, and they actually came, the dogs would have wandered off by the time they got here. |

No apology necessary. I feel like I live in the old west sometimes, just with more trees and less desert. Side-by-side guy went back out with my sisters dog chasing him.  It sounded like he had the dogs in his crate. Penny finally settled down and is now at her "post" napping. An exciting Saturday night in rural Appalachia  |

Annoying! Hunting dogs have this drive. They aren't always social when they're "working".
What's a "side by side"?
