Dogs chase em off they'll be back within a day. Radio collar studies conducted by DEC proved this. The deer don't belong to me, not even when they're on my property. They're wild animals that belong to the State and I sure don't have a need or obligation to feed or protect them. I just hunt them when in season.
Surely you don't have a problem with those who not only hunt game but protect it on their private property do you? You know, plant food plots, keep dogs and poachers out, raise way more game than they ever take?
What about folks that give a dirt nap to killer dogs and wolves? This whole discussion began because a girl was hunting in wolf country and killed a Husky that does in fact resemble a wolf, especially to a young hunter that had no reason to believe a domestic dog would be in the wilds of Montana.
Do you own livestock? I don't have that many but $100,000+ is a very significant amount of money to my family. We raised every cow we have from baby calves and our kids and grand children would like to have a few deer to hunt. I seldom shoot anything anymore except targets, hogs, and predators.
