Best and one of only run ins ever I had was with a neighbor in TX. Their tweenage daughter played volleyball and one day while on phone in my home office I hear BOOM......... BOOM..........BOOM on the office wall facing their driveway. I go out to find her practicing her serve up against my house. I asked her to please stop that, she suggested it wasn't going to hurt anything since it was a brick wall, I moved beyond asking and told her she absolutely had to stop and I mean right now.

This spiraled into a long afternoon with the dad coming over to tell me his wife wanted me to never speak to their kids again for any reason. I can't go into the whole breadth of where we went from there, it just makes my heart and head hurt.

Asshole. And a fellow Auburn alum, which made it even more puzzling.

I had a neighbor arrested for walking into my yard and shooting my chickens with a 22. When I confronted him as he rounded the corner of my house, he pointed it at me. I had him dead to rights to shoot him on the spot.

They hit his house like a SWAT raid.

He came and threatened while out on bail and I called the police again. They told him in front of me that I will shoot him the next time he sets foot in my yard and there would be nothing they can do.

I promptly moved out of the neighborhood. I got the video somewheres.

We are at our present residence 25 years and managed no to piss of our neighbors. Life is much more simple if you get along with others. If there is a problem we address it immediately.

What breed of dog are these?? One of them bite me on the hand when I went to check the collar. Luckily, it didn't break the skin. They are continuously chasing deer and are probably the ones that killed a fawn. I got no response from the dog warden.

Dogs have always been a problem since I had this place.

In Loudoun County, it is hard to get anyone to do their job, even the fire department.

In the first case, the dog owner gets off I assume due to the neighbors doing a character assassination.

In the second case, they tried the same thing but I had a picture of the dog. The owner at first said she had never seen the dog before. By now, you hear some of the people (neighbors) living the Court room. Big Grin

She puts her glasses on and says, "I guess this is my dog." Then she wanted to appeal the case. By now, the Judge had heard enough and found her guilty.

The next case, the individual had several warnings and could get jail time. He got off because the dogs were in his wife's name. But the Judge said you cost him $5K for a lawyer. But even today, his dogs still run loose.

@41, Where I lived in western NC dogs found in the bear preserve were shot. The ranger would take the collars (from whoever brought them in) and fine the owners…you weren’t allowed to have dogs for hunting or chasing deer.

Most people just shot them and didn’t bother calling anyone.

I hear you but the dogs don't know any better. In your case, that is your only alternative. Some owners are just irresponsible.

They look like Rhodesian Ridgebacks to me. I've only met a couple and they were as friendly as can be. They were, however, well trained and socialized.


I'm not advocating for this, but around here dogs caught chasing deer can be shot and the dog's owner can be fined for each violation.

My brother had a dog chase a buck onto his property. By that time the buck had two broken legs from crossing traffic and sought shelter in the pond behind the house.
My brother grabbed his shotgun to put the buck down but wanted to shoot it at the shore line as he didn't want a dead dear in the pond w/ no boat to retrieve it.
Each time he was about to shoot, the dog would circle around forcing the buck back the other way. Eventually he shot the buck and had a Sheriff Deputy out to explain the situation.
Deputy told him he should of shot the dog first.

In Minnesota, dogs chasing deer are (ahem) fair game to be lawfully shot.

They could be Rhodesian Ridgebacks but they are smaller than ones another neighbor had. The neighbor had to get rid of them since they would climb a four foot fence and get out from time to time. One of them came at me one day and stopped ten feet from me. I clapped my hands and talked to him and he turned and left. From then on, I carried all the time.
