"Renegade hunter act" protects the dogs & their owners. Landowner can claim that they felt threatened and dog was attacking them, so dog is dead and nobody get penalized (except dog owner losses his dog). Next week... Landowner comes back to his property and find it vandalized in some way and his stuff stolen.
Lose lose situation so nothing is done
You boys claiming to keep your dogs on a 100 acres are full of shit!
Collar or not, unless you dog is trained to stop in the road when the collar goes beep, you're full o shit!
Very, very few doggers give a shit much less take the time to reach this level of training with their hounds.
As a matter of fact, bring em down here and let's test your statement to be true or false!
I ain't for banning dog huntin by any stretch these days....had you asked me 15 years ago, yes but we had a serious problem with some world-class shitheads back then.

GA passed an identical law to this one several years ago. Since then the state has mostly relaxed some of our deer regs...not increased them. So the whole argument of this being a slippery slope towards more hunting regs doesn't hold much water...
I have had experience with dogs being turned loose on a neighboring property and they would constantly run across my property and the property bordering mine. They would turn them loose on a dirt road and catch them on another road 3 farms over. Those renegade dog hunters were a nuisance to everyone in the immediate area. Thankfully that issue has been long resolved.
Nationally, 28 states ban the baiting for deer in any form, while 22 allow it (eight with significant restrictions). And recent headlines point to deep divisions within individual states. Last spring, legislation passed by the Mississippi House and Senate would have allowed baiting in the Magnolia State for the first time had Gov. Haley Barbour not vetoed the bill. In Michigan, a state long synonymous with baiting, officials shocked the deer hunting community by abruptly banning the practice in the entire Lower Peninsula after a single game-farm doe tested positive for chronic wasting disease. In the Upper Peninsula, however, baiting remains legal.
I think you're stretching here Rebel, especially since SC just legalized baiting statewide. Doggers have had their chances to police themselves and they just can't seem to do it. Population is growing, land is not. Still hunting ain't going anywhere
Here is a crazy idea. What if all dog hunters only hunted property they had permission to hunt? Wow, problem solved and NO new laws
If I trespass and hunt land I can get a ticket, but if I drop some dogs off and stand on the road I am not breaking any current law.

I agree. SC has big deer population. Deer cause numerous traffic accidents every year, so without any population control it will only get worse. I think lawmakers, highway safety, and insurance industries are all aware of this and will continue to support regulated harvest
I thought you were a younger guy. With your attitude you will be fine.
I comment about shooting dogs and what can happen because some things in life aren't worth the trouble. Say one of us shoots some dirt neck heybo's dog. Then he makes it his life mission to get revenge. Burns a stand or camper, slashes tires, etc, you get the point. As much as it is wrong and you (me, us, whatever) want to get payback, some things in life aren't worth it. I am 39, so I'm not old yet, but I have learned that some situations are not worth engaging in, as much as those people need to get bitch slapped or worse.
