We had several Rottweilers show up and the man that owned property near our camp house had two mastiffs he let run at large. The owner had other issues with him as well. The following year we didn't see any of those dogs. I'm a dog lover and would find it hard to shoot one. But before you judge the owner too harshly I must tell you he breeds prize Beef Master cattle and his animals sell for thousands of dollars to cattle ranchers. I just assumed he took them out as he made his rounds. Tom passed away and his son moved back to take over. He has two large dogs that are with him all the time and I know they chase deer. He has a completely different attitude about dogs and though he didn't say it outright I can tell he doesn't agree shooting dogs at large. A new owner of the property near the camp house has three large grown dogs that I've seen chasing deer and they wander around our camp house and tear up the garbage, so we keep it hanging now. Now there's a litter of 6 puppies that have joined them. We spoke to the new owner and his foreman, but so far it has done no good. We still have deer but not nearly as many and they avoid certain areas of the lease. I have to assume they are not molesting the calves.I was in Quinlan about three months ago and though it's rural I don't remember seeing any signs about dogs at large. The area is mostly farms though there are cattle and horses. Since there were no details on why the guy took the action he did I'll wait fro more information to surface before I make up my mind.
