Are you serious?! They're coming over enough to stomp down trails this defined?
What is the allure of your property?

Edit: missed the dog part.. thought that was the neighbors

Why don't you shoot these dogs?

 

[centrarchid]

Try shooting dogs of very emotional neighbors that threaten you or your pets to the police. The police told me to be careful. It is very, very, very easy to tell someone else to do it over a forum because no risk.

I've already shot one if you recall.

I didn't tell you to I asked you why you don't.
Ya I do recall that you have shot one and months later these neighbors have still not done anything proper to contain them.
I don't know what you mean when you say they threatened you and your pets to the police.
Are you scared of these neighbors or their future actions?
I mean for real. They aren't doing anything, you're not doing anything and the police aren't doing anything.
Is there an end goal? A plan? Anything?

Dog runs from me so I will have problem getting it closed in. It is an obese Rotwieller / Bull Mastiff / German Shepherd cross. Not an athlete, but a major lunk to move around.

Probably food motivated just sayin

A great deal has been done. You have not read much. Dog incursions have been greatly reduced, just not entirely stopped. I have a much better fencing perimeter for barn. Law enforcement has established record.

End plan is to make so I can keep poultry and small ruminants even in areas dogs are still getting into. Neighbors will have to do more on their end which they are appear to be doing. Notice the number of dogs I report currently versus in the beginning.

Moonshiner, you have a tendency for being confrontational when it is not needed. Such behavior may suit you well on the internet but is not good business with neighbors. Ultimately the neighbors need to come to terms that will involve some degree of mutual respect. Does not always occur, but I think my approach is better than any you might advocate.

Additional users of trails from a single night minus some rabbits. Tracking these might interest dogs too. Everyone seems to be going to and from the pond. Notice no dogs yet. No evidence for incursions this night. Good!
