Growing up in Chilton County, we had 2 choices, run dogs with the criminals or fight the dog running criminals.
Not all of them, but the great majority of dog runners were a bunch of reckless drunk poachers who thought they owned all the deer in the county. If you dared try to stop them farm equipment got vandalized, barns burned, cattle shot, gates destroyed, etc.
People who come to Chilton county and lease hunting land today have no idea how hard we fought to put a lid on the rampant organized crime syndicate of dog hunters.



Yep.

Hunted in Perry Co when I was a kid in a club that ran dogs and had a little section set aside for stalk hunting only. On the main road going through the club there was one little ,5 acre block that a nice gentleman owned and had built a little green house on. Lived in it with his wife and two kids. He was telling me and my dad that his house had been shot by our club members no less than 20 times over the years. That same year it was shot twice and he called the game warden who started doing ride throughs on the club and handing out tickets for the dog hunters standing the roads. Then magically the little green house burned down less than a week later. Pretty amazing coincidence.

I had a gun pulled on me for telling someone that they could not hunt on The land I have leased. There was no dog in sight. He thought it was ok because deer season was over. Yes some people suck. People deserve blame for their actions not methods of hunting.



Don't disagree..... outlaws are outlaws.
