I've found that 95% of the time you will get further by being nice, kind and genuine. The only time I forgo that option is when myself or family are in physical danger or when someone mistakes my kindness for weakness.I appreciate the advice. I especially like the response with the link to the legal reference. My son-in-law almost took the shot thinking they were coyotes. He realized they were dogs when they came closer. Some did have collars.
Where I come from, if someone doesn't control their animal, its ok to put the animal down when they cause you problems. When I was a kid, I was treed by a pack of wild dogs. I'll never let that happen again. I do think, that since I suspect I know where the animals live, I should do the right thing and give the owner a chance. Heck this close to the end of the season and all. I am going to warn him that I, and some inexperienced hunters, will be out going for coyotes and pigs. It would suck if his dogs were misidentified.
I appreciate the input from those that kept it civil. For those that didn't... well... I'll let that dog lie.
