Regulating Dog Hunting

[Ghetto]

As a hunter how would you regulate dog hunting in order to preserve the sport and prevent a potential total ban in the future?

My thoughts that I think a good dog club could get behind:

All dog hunting clubs would have to be licensed with a list of members names, dogs, and landowner's.
Any club with 3 reported violations would be fined $1500 and a letter from SCDNR would be mailed to the landowner and club members explaining nuisance activity. If nuisance activity continues after fine all club members would lose dog hunting rights for 1 year on that property.

Nuisance activity would be hunting from public roads, releasing dogs on public roads, loaded guns in trucks, dogs running on others property, etc.

Reports and evidence would be reported through SCDNR tip website/tip line.

All dog hunting (hog/raccoon), and still hunting violators would be included and subject to violations being reported.

I would think something of this nature would cause a good bit of self regulation such as respecting neighboring properties, using short legged dogs, not dropping dogs off on the highways and hunting highways etc.

Unsure if this annual thread has been summoned this year or not?

Yeah, how bout let's enforce the laws against trespassing and outlaw bullshit that are already on the books rather than making new laws that will only effect the guys that are trying to do it right to begin with......

The "tip" hotline wouldnt work. They'd have so many BS calls "ratting" on someone that probably didnt really do anything.

Good folks with 2-3 beagles can hunt a 100 acre thicket all day..

Handfull of jackasses can scatter 28 hounds across 10k acres in an hour or 3...

Its not a black and white fix..

I don't see many people hunting beagles. And I've never seen someone only run 2 dogs.

I'm sure it could be done by a select few people who truly cared. But a minimum acreage law would be the quickest way to stop the renegade nonsense. And in my opinion it's needed to help save dog hunting. It's not the people doing it right that are the issue.

I'd be willing to bet if you hunt near Davis Station you've had an encounter with the same group of folks that run wild over here on the South side of the lake.

Same group that shows up around St Paul?

There already is a tip line.

You could text concrete nuisance evidence such as road hunting, or captured dogs to etc.

With the new Garmin Collars most of the dog hunting arguments are a moot point.

How so?

[ccleroy]

How so?

You can see exactly where the dogs are and tone them when they are getting out of an area if you choose too.......you'll see the functionality soon that perimeters can be setup to keep them within certain boundaries as well, if it doesn't exist already.

Of course nobody trespasses like a still hunter. Nobody steals cameras like a still hunter. Nobody lies, cheats, and does underhanded things like a still hunter...


So lets give them a hotline and use their voice as gospel in hunting infractions..

Them dog men are killing all the bucks my QDMA is growing, bo.. Call the hotline sammy, we'll get them for sure this time..

So i take it you do not see dog hunting being outlawed in the future, and proposing further regulation to curtail nuisance activity would not be of interest to you or dog hunters?

What is the name of the club you hunt with?

Below is how you can use the tip line:

text tips to keyword SCDNR along with your tip to 847411(tip411)

How close are they to this? Cost?

I'm not certain, however with drones you can setup safety perimeters to keep them within. Same thing will happen with the Garmin's soon.
