I am with Bob on this one. Even on the worst nights here in Michigan that I can remember, my dog has not had to get off more than a mile to get hooked, and that is rare here in the land of milk and honey! Granted, we had our bases covered and we were still on legal hunting ground. Under normal conditions, and I have hunted with Bob on numerous occasions, he can tell you the same thing.
If it takes your dog a mile to get struck honest, I think I'd look at another line of dogs. It is one thing to go hunting and work whatever track you come across, it is something totally different to turn a dog loose and wonder how long he'll have to go to find a hot track.
As to the original question, I would not think it out of line at all to bar a fella from a club if he took a cast to land that he did not have permission to hunt.
Getting onto posted land is one thing, but cutting loose on that land is something totally different.
Honor Rules guys. Honor
Well, with you living in Michigan you will never know what it is like to try and hunt in thin coons. Has nothing to do with the dog, the fact is you have 50 coons to our 1!
You talk about honor. Well, I do not think you can honestly sit there and tell me that you do not turn loose on places where you know there is a high probability that the dogs will either tree, or at least track on someone's property where you do not have permission!
I would love for you to come down here and find enough tracts of land connected together by enough different property owners that you could hunt for 2-3 hours and know you had absolute permission from all of them to be on said property! I have a place or two to hunt that can cover 3-4 hours that is not posted, however, I know I am going to be on at least 15-20 different property owners through the course of the night and that is if I stay only in the logging road. That number will surely go up when I have to get out of the road!I have no way of knowing who all these property owners are, and I am surely not going to let one jerk ruin a good hunt just because he owns a half acre in the middle of a bunch of other land that is not posted!
