Do you have any articles to share about that?
Please, no more free range dog articles though. Dogs loose in the woods, being attacked, is not something that relates to the original discussion.
I kill them, use netting, put up fencing and electric fencing. Depends on the critter. I have to contend with mice and bugs, all the way up to deer. In WV, I was given nearly unlimited deer tags for protecting my farm. Here in IL, I'm assed out with the deer because I'm too small of an...
When did I deny the damage that wolves do? Not one of you have shown me any proof that wolves are hopping people's fences and eating their pets! All you guys have done is keep posting about hunting dogs and livestock.
Try to follow along with the discussion better before making false claims...
Thank you for the breakdown on risks and your POV. I think you have a very reasonable opinion on the matter. I would ask more questions and respond to some of your points but then the thread would probably get locked for being way off topic. Another time!
Take care!
I want to reply and refute your statements but, truthfully, some of them are too generalized. Which things have I written that indicates to you that I'm trolling, being willfully ignorant about, or am saying out of feelings (rather than logic)?
This thread was about CO cougars preying on...
They also leave the toilet seat up and cheat on their taxes. Vermin, for sure! Haha
I'd think killing bears would be a trait you guys would appreciate?
Typical ignorant response. I've lived in the Midwest for 7 years. Do you know where else I've lived and what I've experienced in my life?
Nope. Thats egg on your face, ma'am.
Those are some crazy stories! Thanks for sharing them!
I mentioned in an earlier post that, in my opinion, Alaska wildlife is on a whole different level from our critters in the lower 48. I base that opinion purely on the differences in habitat and human interaction.
Who knows though, maybe...
Right, I wasn't referring to hounds as wimps. I wasn't clear on that so I'm glad you pointed that out.
With that said, I don't see why it should be anyone's concern if a hunter loses some dogs to predation. There are risks involved in pretty much any activity and by engaging it that activity...
I was unaware of this. I wrongfully assumed that CO was handling it like other states were. Thank you for bringing that to my attention!
Maybe once they actually introduce wolves this year, they'll begin compensating ranchers like all the other states do? Or is that too optimistic?
Getting back on topic:
My heart goes out to the folks that live in places where they can't LEGALLY protect their "property" from predators. It's pathetic, honestly, that people would vote for rules like that and that lawmakers would sign it.
With that said, if your dog/cat/parakeet is being...
Yeah, I don't care about livestock predation. They can sort that shit themselves, however they want, while getting paid a princely sum for NOT raising an animal to maturity.
And correct, I'm fairly indifferent to people losing dogs when they let them run loose in the woods. If your wimp dog...
Just so you know, you'll probably get more responses if you post this in the Firearms subforum. This is general discussions, where we post memes, talk too much politics, and ask dumb non-hunting/gun related questions.
