Hounds

Just got the 4th of the day 10 minutes ago.
Hounds did great.

No deer or turkys were harmed.

I used to run/raise/breed coon hounds in northern MO. I would much rather have hounds running through my deer honey holes than yard dogs or stray dogs. Trashy deer runners usually don't live a very long life. When you invest thousands and thousands of dollars in a hound to do a certain job for you, if it doesn't do that specific job(coyote or coon), you can't afford to keep feeding and investing in it.
Yard dogs are much much worse when it comes to chasing ALL game and causing a ruckus.

Casting dogs on any land with out permission should be illegal it’s trespassing.Lost a lot of cattle in the feed lot from them 6 cattle at one time. Spooked and cattle ran over each other in a tight corner.Funny they wouldn’t claim their dogs. Different time snow was crusted hard ,coyote dog was there tormenting the pissed off cow with broken leg. Should shoot every hound I could draw a bead on. I’m not someone’s play ground. If i come to someone’s work place and trashed it I would be in jail.The casting dogs law needs changed it’s a joke. Sorry for venting.

I've been hunting with many different hound guys for about the past 8 or so years.

Fabricated stories abound.
I once asked permission to bowhunt a property. Land owner said no.
Said she had a deer die in her yard that had 8 arrows in it.

For Christ's sake guys..., embrace the guys running and killing coyotes.
I call bullshit on those that claim a group of coyote hounds killed/ harassed thier livestock!!.
Houndsmen would not put up with that.

So let the coyotes kill your fawns/ turkeys. Don't whine about it in the future.

I am sure every single hound and houndsmen are exactly the same - just like every bow hunter is exactly the same. Just because you have a sample of 8 that are good does not mean someone else did not have a very different experience. I am glad your experience was good, but you have no position to tell someone else how they need to react to what happened to them or on their land.

Total FWIW...just watched three hounds jog through my yard at the farm on security camera video. Watched them for a minute or two until a truck pulled up at the end of the lane and loaded them up. Apparently no coyotes located.
