hi again.thanks for all your input.to answer a question,im in indiana,the trails go through 3/4 of the property leaving the other 1/4 in a pretty thick hilly area.i know i could go there but the shot would be about 5 yards (pretty thick).he hunts also and has got a nice 150 2 years ago now we have decided to do all these trails and 3 or 4 foodplots to help bring and keep them in here.it is his property and i know im the guest thats why me and a friend are funding all plots ,i was looking for other opinions to show him that it just might not be such a good idea to let his/her dogs blunder through the woods.as buckshot says they are there for a reason -however-i would like for them to return during daylight (as that is when you can legally shoot one)instead of all night time moving.i have tried looking in books and magazines for this type of problem to show him in print but couldnt find what i was looking for-seems to me it would be common sense ,that may be why i didnt find it.now that this womans dogs now the walking routine im afraid im going to be sitting there on a perfect crisp november morning waiting for a nice one and look up to see a big black dog grinning at me,and we all know what hunting is after a dog gets done walking through the woods!once again, i thank you for your time and thoughts,any stories or sugestions i will appreciate it.  |
