Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire How Would You Deal With This Guy?

Mine are.

I wouldn't shoot/kill a person over it but I'd gladly deal with an assault charge if someone intentionally harmed one of them.

Broken glass and and bent up rusty nails every so often down on his end of the road. Slow him down and hurt his wallet.

You have to assume he'll know who did it and escalate. Neighbor feuds suck and they almost always suck worse for the good guy, the one with the most to lose. Barry has done the right thing at this point.

This is me as well.

I'd never kill someone over a dog but I'd be happy to assist in putting them in jail and be damn glad I did.

Seriously, the further I can stay away from him the better. As I said, I really don't even see him more than a couple times a year in passing.

It just pisses me off that that couple of times a year have to be with him intentionally trying to run over my dog.

I'd be happy to never see him again.

First time I caught the dogs killing critters on my property, would have been the last time they were able to do that.

I dunno. The dogs do some good in the world and bring joy. Some people don't and are possibly worth less than the dog. Speaking for my dogs of course lol

This one slept in my bed for most of his life, would have died defending the girls or the wife.........

But I would've but a bullet between his eyes in a newyork minute if had ever bitten a kid, or killed a neighbors animal................

The 'invisible fence' worked until he decided the shock was worth it............ he started visiting the neighbor and pissing on his pool toys THROUGH the screen. Put up a real fence, problem solved.

You said that you had video of the bad dogs taking game................. just wondering why Fish and Game were not consulted, they seem to have a real hard-on for such behavior.........

You didn't 'take care of it early'........... you didn't call F&G.............. He's an AZZhat, your dog won't stay out of the street.................

What would I do??? Since you asked...... let it go, keep your dog out of the street........... if you can't - Chapter three could be bad for one or many! Never forget that you can be completely right and still loose.

JMHO

Six pages, wow! I have an idea! Next time you see the neighbor drive by grab a six pack and go visit! If he refuses to have a beer, that's an insult, kick his ass for insulting you! Or enjoy the beer and iron things out! Maybe he's just as discussed with you as you are with him. Because his daughter is a piece of dog raising craap, doesn't mean he is!!!!!!

I would too.

. Actually a lot of dogs would be worth it, compared to most people but I digress

On the surface that sounds good. Three major issues though. The neighbor was an irresponsible pet owner. I know the dogs were the daughter's, but he took them on. I have never met an irresponsible pet owner that I'd want to have a beer with. There's something wrong with every damn one of them. When someone approaches you in an effort to try to avoid a situation in which they might have to kill your dog, that's someone doing you a favor. You don't get pissy. You need to have the fuuuking emotional intelligence to realize that dogs going after livestock is serious business and that the person approaching you about it is trying to help you. You don't ever, and I mean ever, extend an olive branch to someone who twice swerves at your dog. That person is a cockhole of the highest order.

My neighbor lady called and left a message, "could you please keep your boxer up there as much as possible. We just got a pup and your Dillon plays too rough, the pup is afraid to go outside."

My kids got mad and wanted to complain to her. I told them it is her yard, not ours, our dog needs to stay at home. We started going out with him for awhile to reinforce his boundries. Problem solved.

Barry did something that could be expected to play out badly. But he did the honorable and manly thing.
Sneaking around like some lowlife scum was probably the best way to play this. Not the right way.


This a--holes actions reflect solely on him, not R-bar.

So far you did good. Let the cops handle it. Call them every time neighbor acts stupid, faithfully. Every time you're at the road when he drives by video him. People in general really don't like that. Boring but effective. God bless.

Record him on camera being an a$$. You know what to do next time......

The very few times that I have had neighbor problems, I went to their place with a 6 pack and talked it out. "Let's talk. I brought beer." Do not beat on the door, just a friendly knock.

Sometimes it works, sometimes not. But well worth a try. Be humble, be nice.

Explain that you didn't really want to shoot his dogs, but that you were protecting the animals. Let him give you his side of the story, maybe agree with him even if they are wrong.("Yea, I kinda see your point") If he "goes off", tell him to relax and have an adult and civil conversation. Again, be nice. ( I know being a diplomat can be a PITA) Check your ego at home. This is the tough part.

Then explain to him that you are not happy with him trying to run over your dog, and you would like him to stop it. In an adult and civil manner. Be nice.

At this point of the saga, seems that you have nothing to lose.

If he goes off and nothing is settled, at least you tried.

This isn't going to get settled if you don't talk to him again.

If I was the local game-pig, my neighbors would hate me too.

Thing is, if he does, he'd go to the morgue for it.

The neighbor is an unreasonable a-hole. Why in the world would any of you think it's a good idea to visit him again. That second visit could end very badly. They don't live close to each other and only see each other a couple of times a year. Life goes on, just avoid him - problem solved.

You just reminded him of his drug head ho of a daughter. He's probably fed up with her and her life habits. He probably also has a wife insisting on taking care of her and allowing her sh-t for friends and dogs hang around too. He can't do anything about them and takes out his frustration on you. Daughter and dogs will be back, count on it. wildlifecontrolsupplies.com has what you need. A Belisle 330X and red meat will quietly handle the job. Buy the setting tool so you don't end up in it. It would take some help to get you loose.
