EAST TEXAS HOG DOGGERS FORUM

this happen to a guy i hunt with he found a note  in his dog yard the other day i will shoot and poison your dogs if you break my hog traps obviously this guy had a trap or traps broken and is blaming us because we hunt with dogs in the area, we dont break traps we have a few and i guess the only reason my buddy got the note is i guess the guy saw his kennels from the highway what do yall think

I think the guys to much of a coward to shoot your dogs if he didn't have the balls to talk to y'all in person and left a cute little note.
I would try and talk to him and get it settled before I hunted near his place again, just in case.

I think a phone call to the police and a few hundred dollars in IR Game cams around your kennels would sure go a long way to preventing anything stupid from happening.  And if it did, well you kinda got him by the short hairs.

Being a former deputy sheriff, I always try to use the "cooler head" approach. Obviously, this game came onto his property univited and left a note. I would surely make sometype of phone call to the sheriff department so a report is on file that this man has threatened your dogs w/ death. Then, and only then would I pursue anytype of conversation with the man.

I am a hot headed dago/coonass all in one. Some man come on my property and leave a note that he is going to kill my dogs...........uhm- Houston we have a problem! Just saying, make a report in case it escalates you have it documented and save the note!

Yup X2 I get hot real fast when someone makes a threat. I can help out with a camera system. It can even notify you when movement is detected. I don't mess around. I like video because there is no arguing the facts. Then even if he leaves a note you can prove who did it.

best part about it he is traping on posted prop and he isnt even from the area

 file a report with the local LEO's and if you know he is tresspassing then call it in to the gamewarden and sheriff dept. i aint using my cam n ur welcome to use while im gone, wont be needing it for a yr. i wouldnt get caught doing it, but you can set a trap for him so the next time he comes on the property u will have him. make a bottle neck path leading to some 30/30 coni bear traps, they jump high enuf to catch him by his short hairs. just say you were trapn bobcats. ;D

You need to make a phone call to jonny law and let them know. JMO

X2 Definitely handle above the law. This is the kind of situation that could get ugly fast and you want the law on your side. That I why I like video.

Yall havent seen hot headed yet.  I got a call from a buddy I hunt with and he told me of a rumor about someone in the area that wants to pay someone to steal a good strike dog.  This same guy just a couple of weeks ago was trying to find out who I am because he heard about my dogs.  I wanted to go have a little talk with him, but my buddy talked me out of it.  He knew it wouldnt be just a little talk.  Sorry, I'm still venting.  Anyways, Dub, if you can help me out with a system that wont break me, I would like to talk with you.  Thanks   Patrick.

I can help anybody out. I am not looking to make money just help. I really hate thieves.

Patrick what area are they talkin bout, thats when u need a mean dog that can get out of his pen and remind poeple (who dont belong) what a good dog bite feels like!!!

Derrick, I don't know.  All I know is the guy was asking a lot of questions about me.  He was calling people he knows in Yoakum trying to figure out who I am and what kinda dogs I have.  Then I heard about this.  I will hurt this squirlly little punk if I hear of anyones dog missing.  I absolutely hate a thief.

A dog thief is the lowest form of thief.

good news we got the guys adddress and phone number and licence plate number

Now go put a note on his door. "Please leave my dogs alone." No threats just so he knows that you know where he lives. I would be tempted to have a nice friendly conversation with him.  ;D But no threats.
