Just happened a few weeks back...it always ends the same way. The police show up in force, body slam the moron with the 22 and he gets a backseat ride to the local jail. I don't know what the law is called that they are breaking, but I know it always ends the same way. It must be some kind of felony to do that. It ends better for the trespasser than the landowner. Apparently "I just wanted to scare 'em" is not a good defense in this case.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^

When the house dog quits barking and I hear the faint racking of a 12 gauge in the distance its lights out, heads down,, and we are off to the races!!!!!!!!



Really tho,,, I have a certain 300 acre woods that is adjoining to another 100 acre woods that I have permission to hunt any time I please. There is a fella that bought a 10 acre patch right slap in the middle of the two where they bottle neck because of the river and road. What absolutely kills me is when I have a dog to get hooked on one of his 25 trees that he owns and he comes out raising holy hell. We have been round and round more then once and the only solution he can come up with is for me to quit hunting those two farms,,, not gonna happen..... I try to keep the dogs off his place but at least once a year we get on him. Its like the fella sleeps with his windows open in December because he normally beats me to the dog. I leave the rifles at the fence, walk over and get the dog and walk away, whilehe stands there yelling and screaming the whole time and of course threatening to call the sherrif and shoot the dogs. I have told him that shooting one of my hounds would be the worst thing he would ever do and I think I conveyed that message pretty clear, and I invite him to call the sherrif every time he threatened it but never any blue lights...

I guess what I am saying is, you can't make everyone happy... Just go in, get your dog and take nor disturb anything and hope you don't have lead flying low over your head on your way to the truck!

Here in Iowa we are fortunate enough to still have the right to retrieve law. BUT even with this law a little courtesy will go a long ways. Here is they way I handle it and it has always worked well for me and I own a nice size farm of my own and hunt on several thousand acres of private ground. If I happen to get onto someones ground that I don't have permission I go knock on the door and apologize first and let them know I would like to go get my dog and that I will leave the gun in the truck and most importantly I am sorry. BE NICE again BE NICE yes we have the right to say hey bud iowa has the right to retrieve law so eat a bug but I choose to be nice and it has still gotten me some butt chewings but a lot less than if I would of not gave a hoot that they spent their money on that farm just as I did my hounds. The next thing that works great is the farmers that I have permission on or a neighbor that I may be parking my truck across the road from at 10 at night is go let them know what you are doing. Even if you have permission IT WILL HELP I PROMISE!!! just the same as a highway patrol officer , don't go digging for your wallet or insurance card while he is walking up to your car sit there hands ten and two and he will be a lot more at ease because as he is walking, that fella dosent know what your digging for. The same as a farmer dosent know every truck you drive or who in the world is driving up and down his road or pulled over a 1/4 mile down the road with the lights off. Courtesy and respect will open a lot of doors for you as a hunter and will lesson some of the butt chewins by just a little respect and kindness. jmo
