My question (and I mean this sincerely as I do not know much about it as I don't hunt there) is did the regulations in Georgia help to minimize the issue? Or is it a case of renegades will be renegades?

Also, another idea came to me and Pbiz, I think you should collaborate with Mr. Ruth on this one: 'Quality Dog Management' you can enroll you pack of dogs in it. Of course you need to show proof that you using all of the latest gadgets and gizmos (to keep track of your herd) as well as actively managing the herd and culling if necessary.

Another option: Dog hunters introduce a bill requiring still hunters to put up a short fence around their properties to keep dogs out.

Im far from an expert on it as dog hunting is only allowed in some countries in south GA and it didn't affect me.

But I know it has to be 1000 contiguous acres and they require a permit. Not sure about training or any other details. And I can't speak to them getting off the club. But the clubs I knew of were very well organized and wanted to do it right. Having 1000 acres helps to ensure that people have a little more skin in the game.
