I'm sure you have heard this one before. I'm so tired of seeing dogs and cats from the deer stand!It's been a decade now of seeing more domestic animals than deer. I am told the state has no regulation against dogs and cats free-ranging.What can hunters do to protect the thousands of dollars of habitat money we invest for wildlife from free-ranging domestic animals?

BTW, thanks so much for participating on this forum!
