Visit from the RCMP re: dumped carcasses

citidiot here- I've never spent more than a few weeks outside the city at any one time.

It really sounds like she was just trying to be nice. Perhaps a gentle education in the 'ways of the woods' might be more effective.

Get her dog weaned onto the leavings, make him happy :)

My GF was like this until we moved to the sticks.... what you don't understand is how frustrating it is as a man and a hunter and outdoorsman to work to buy your own place with acreage and have some citiot buy a woodlot down the road and let their dog run rampant and chase your game....

I have seen you rposts bud... I bet you would die for the ownership to a nice piece of woods... and I bet you would be real pi$$ed if someone let their pet run on it....

I have a trail cam that constantly picks up neighbors dog..... hell.. when i put out deer corn the stupid thing eats it... and then craps non stop from the molasses all over my property
 
You should tell her to take a look at yesterday's Peterborough Examiner...a hunter just shot two black labs with a shotgun mistaking them for coyotes. Even after the owner of the dog stood over the wounded lab waving his hands and yelling "you're shooting my dog," the guy put a third shot in it and killed it. He wasn't charged.
 
If a Dog or a Cat is worth keeping . . . it is worth keeping at home!

"Well we moved to country so we could let our dog run". Sure but let it run on the end of a leash.

A fed bear is a dead bear. Same applies to Dogs. A dog fed at home on high energy food can run and chase game a lot further than a deer when times are tough.

Coyotes are Dogs! I can't tell the difference.

I can only imagine how frustrating it is. I can't wait until I can get out of the city, have a little room to breathe. I also fully intend to make friends with my neighbours first, and getting to know 'their way' before trying to insert my own ideas into another 'culture'.

But maybe I'm an exception.

Great attitude!... and you are so right.... in the country neighbors are important... and I digress, my neighbor is the exception to the rule... she has no idea I pulled her husband out of the ditch last year with my rhino... I leave nobody stranded... hubby actually offered me cash... in the country it just doesn't work that way... sooner or later they will have an emergency and I will be the one to save them and bridges will be mended.... but she will never be more than an anti... because she thinks deer and birds and rabbits are pretty... but has no idea what their lives are like outside the view of her picture window....and chooses to turn a blind eye to true nature

Idiots like that give "real" hunters a bad name. :mad:

but they again can be converted- The only un-convertable anti is a dead one. The rest can be brought around. Cook her up some stew, or some vennicin burgers and make her see the other side of the hunt. I have often felt that for non-hunters, when all they see is someone running around the woods in camo and then posing with a corpse for pictures, they get the wrong impressions. Maybe I'm wrong, I've been wrong before.

I think deer are beautiful creatures, majestic in a lot of way, delicious in a lot of others.

for the record, I've never killed a deer. In fact, the only animal I've ever killed intentionally was a pigeon off my 16th floor balcony about 10 years ago.

If you ever move to Eastern Ontario (Kemptville area), give me a hollar, we'll go hunting!
 
I've got family near Ottawa and Napanee, neither place I've been to in YEARS.

I may very well take you up on it though... I'm quite new to hunting (balcony pigeons and dreams at this point), and I like to go places where I can't answer my phone when I take off- otherwise I'm on call 24/7, and don't get vacation days.
 
"I haven't told her that most land owners wouldn't bother trying to poison a problem dog as they have absolutely no qualms about openly and legally shooting them"

Pretty sure that if you can't prove the dog in question was harrassing livestock there could be legal problems. Not saying you should or shouldn't, just that it's not as cut and dried as some people think. Years ago most people would shrug it off... today if you ran into the wrong judge you might wind up charged for cruelty to animals or lose a civil case and that mangy little "pooky bear" would be some sort of priceless show animal.
 
I really don't understand the whole aggressive and stand-offish attitude people have on here. Part of it is the internet, and part ignorance I guess.

Fact is, they're neighbours and not going anywhere. At best the dog is just being a dog, so shooting it punishes it for the neighbour's inability to figure things out. The neighbour herself came over to apologise when she understood what was going on, and furthermore tried to help solve the problem the only way she could think of. That shows she's reasonable and open to your own solutions, as she feels bad and is trying to make things right.

I'd say that you explain that there are snares and traps around that her dog would likely find if it's finding bait piles, that there are coyotes that are sometimes rabid, and that lots of land owners don't care about shooting any animals they see as trespassing on their land. Tell her you like her dog and you're telling her because you don't want to see it get hurt and didn't think she was aware of the situation. Then give her some game meat, or invite them for dinner and cook some up for them, if they don't know how to cook it. Odds are they'll keep their dog on a line and be a long way towards being converted from Citiots to newly appreciating rural owners... rather than making enemies and ending up grumpy and waking up to their dog taking a dump on your front porch.

I had the same thing happen 3 years ago when my neighbor's dog dragged an entire deer head and dropped it on her stoop..... she came by with it in a plastic bag and shoved it in my mailbox... which made the wife really happy to say the least... her damn dog was trespassing on my land to get that head....

So I figured that since the theme was throwing things in mailboxes that were deposited on your land from her dog I would throw a few of the steaming piles the damn thing left on my lawn into her mailbox with a note....

We haven't spoken in 3 years....lol

How the hell do you "mistake" two BLACK Labs as Coyotes?

:agree:

Good post.
Sounds like a bunch on here I really wouldn't want as neighbours :cool:
Citiots are a becoming a fact of life in the country & all most on here want to do is make enemys of them!

could be a case where the farmer has seen the two chasing cattle or sheep many times and told the guy that if he sees them in that part of the farm again take them. i could be wrong and he saw a canine and though shoot, but i dont know the whole story
