no, not as easy to hide/dispose of evidence.

As a kid I came across a dog that had been tangled in the chain that was connected to his dog house. I felt sorry for the dog so I went over to free him from the chain to enable him to move freely to water and food. When I got the dog free he seemed to be happy and quickly went over to drink water. After he got through drinking water he turned around with tail wagging and ran up to me like any normal dog. I bent over to pet him and he turned the tables. He bit me a total of thre times until I got my hands around his throat and choked the life out of him. Moral of the story? To date no dog that has bitten me has lived to tell the tale.

i don't know, depends on how they would taste. My dad had a neighbor's cow that would constantly break through the fence and come eat his food plots, that year my dad bought a new deep freezer,

There has been talk about just shooting them in the gut and letting them run off and die in the woods/creek

If you kill the horse you can sale the meat to guys who raise pit bulls. Horse is very high in protein.

the only times ive ever shot a horse or cow is when they've threaten my life. It's rare but happens, I've heard mainly in the months of june/july, cows and horse alike in areas such as therefore as in with no exception to texas/louisiana that cows/horses will sometimes hunt or act aggressively towards humans.

blood trails are easy to track.

Those same persons also fail to provide any definiton as to when a pet owner is so irresponsible that the pet becomes essentially a wild animal.
That's false. Your idea that a child's dog interrupts your hunt twice so therefore it must be shot is crap.
I've agreed with the other guy about shooting his neighbors dogs.
I just think you're pulling the trigger too soon.. or at least claiming you would.

Those that oppose lethal force on a respect or moral issue using the reccuring theme of proper channels, common sense pathways, and intellecutally superior options too shooting the animal, refuse to address what is to be done when those options fail repeatedly.
There is a huge difference between shooting someone's pet and a feral or vicious dog. I have no problem with shooting the latter.
You claim you'd shoot a pet. That's the only problem I have with what you say.
ETA: I also never said the owner should not be responsible for the dog. A pet should not have to die because the owner let it get out twice. That's overkill.

i understand that and that is a very good point but i have a feeling that the horses are loose for a reason and no one would be looking for them

Have you thought about getting a range rider to catch/corral them?
Find someone with some cattle dogs (not hog dogs) and they should be able to help as well.

Interesting question, but in many states it brings livestock laws into question.
In Texas they recently passed a law to discontine the process of horse meat packing plants. These plants were able to sell horse meat to other countries for upwards of $20 per pound and of course the plants hand multiple employees. When horses became old, injured, or debilitated and there were no other options, the owner could sell the horse to the plant for a couple of hundred dollars. Now horse owners must pay a vet to put the animal down and dispose of it which I am told costs the owners around $1500.
We had cows running our lease in portions that thew were not supposed to be on. I worked diligently with the owner to repair fences, leave feeders empty to reduce the draw, and round up the cows. After each round up the cows would break the fence again. Finally, we caught them jumping the fence. I set a price for the cows with the owner and we agreed that if they were not removed by opening day of bow season that we could shoot them and process the meat. Interestingly, he moved all of the cows to a field that did not border our lease and I have no steak in the freezer.

Well on our lease each member has their own food plot to hunt. The horses are not in my food plot so i havent really thought of every possibility but im sure our members will take that into consideration if the problem continues

You fail at reading comprehension.
I have repeatedly posted that I would talk to the owner twice after the dog was seen twice and on the third time it was seen assuming no extenuating circumstances I would then put it down.

Here's what I just said:

So if anything, you're the one that can't read.
We obviously aren't ever going to agree, but you hopefully should understand that putting a child through trauma just so you can kill a deer is a little over the top.

so, I didnt feel like reading all of this, but here is my question:
I, as well as many of my coworkers, often bring dogs to work with us. I do it much more in the winter because it's not as hard on them and there is more water available for them. My dogs both wear collars and naturally do not stay right beside me all day. They often break out of the woods and onto pipelines and roads way before I do. All of the land I work on is leased for hunting, though they know it is owned by timber investment companies for timber production.
anyways, should I expect my dogs to be shot?
