My first poacher encounter

[muzzyslinger]

And I understand that and if my dog was to cross properties and get shot I wouldn't be mad at the landowner it's their land and my dog was on it. But say I was hunting a neighboring property and my dog went and got treed on your place because I couldn't catch him in time and I came to ask you for permission to retrieve him how would you handle that?

If it was me you were asking,Id say son go get your dog,i'd probably even go help you find it.

I understand that but i mean if I ask a landowner to go get my dog and they say no that lies a problem. Could I call a game warden or a sheriff to help me out in the situation?

Yes, this is propper way to handle it if owner says no go.

99% of owners will say meet me at the gate, bottom line if you run dogs, better get phones for EVERY land owner touching. I know my buds that hunt PRIDE themselves on who trust them to run dogs and how many acres they have to run

And I appreciate that! Wish every landowner was like that!

my cousin was offered 10k for his squirrel dog at a competition.

Doesn't surprise me! I saw one for sale for around that much on east Texas hog doggers forum!

Calling everyone who doesn't tell you what you want to hear an idiot is not how we make friends here.

My 2 cents. We have had dogs with tracking collars cross our property. We have had game cameras stolen. We have had the cards on our game cameras cleared while we were gone. I am tired of folks coming onto our property that do not belong there. If they have the courtesy to contact us and ask permission we would more than likely not take issue with finding their dogs. However, from some of the posts here it seems like the good 'ol days of hunting with dogs did not include trespassing to steal property or clean photos off of game cameras. So yeah, in my opinion the good 'ol days are probably long gone and I cannot blame the landowners one bit........

I grew up in conroe. I grew up Coon hunting the SHTF in the 70s and early 80s. My dad and grandpa rarely had a dog find its way to private land. Ran into a few fox and coyote hunters over the years. My dad was involved with Cleveland Coon hunters club for awhile. Trial and bench judge. We went to the state championship hunt in Fairfield several times. Goood times that have all but disappeared.

My uncle was the coon Hunter in the family. Dad was fox and coyote. He was president of Polk, Liberty, and San Jacinto Fox Hunters Assoc. for many years. I miss those days

I would bet they did know each other. I was shocked when he told about this since he was the first man in 30-40 years I talked with that was hunting coyotes with dogs. IIRC This guy had a pasture fenced off with 2x4 non-climb wire where he raised coyotes (that were caught in when he fenced it) to train his dogs in. He did not kill the coyotes just trained his dogs to run them.

Not sure how long ago you're talking about, but a gentleman named Conway Waak had a fox pen just outside of Bellville for many years. I believe he has passed away tho. He had a pretty good sized pen fenced up to run coyotes in. IIRC, it was 800-900 acres. The only bad part about it was when it was dry, it would eat up a dogs pads something awful

Another fella still has one outside of Brenham towards Giddings, his name is Porky Landua. He traps coyotes for a lot of the local ranches out in that area. His pen isn't quite as large if I remember correctly. But will tear up the feet of the hounds when it is dry out there as well

Used to be an elderly black gentleman out there in Brenham who had some fine fox hounds. He passed away a few years back...most of the old men that dad hunted with are dead and gone now. I think that's part of the reason he quit hunting. Even running hounds in the pens lost its appeal for him as the old timers passed away.

So you think the dog jumped a high fence or two?

Any hound worth a **** would not have too much trouble finding a way under most ge fences.

I am still laughing at your comment.

I thought the exact same thing reading the replies.
