3 times over 5 or 6 hunts. I'm assuming they're stray. there aren't houses within a few miles either way. People are notorious for dropping dogs near there. Even if they are stray, I wouldn'twant to mame or kill them. just scare the pee out of them so they won't come back but not make a ton of noise in the process.

Wouldn't you condisder that hunt pretty much wasted at that point? I stayed out there a little longer but nothing came through. it felt better blaming it on the dogs anyway! wink
