Written permission to hunt a property and written retrieval authorization from all adjoining land owners. That solves the problem.
90% of the places I hunt are at the land owners request because they have a hog problem. I have the land owner contact the neighbors and request that his hunters, who are working on "his" hog problem, be allowed to retrieve dogs. Written permission is preferred but I will go on a verbal agreement.
If the land owner has a problem neighbor and I am not sure I can stay off of that neighbor, I DO NOT HUNT THE PROPERTY.
We are all ambassadors of this sport every time we load dog for a hunt. Be professional in your approach and leave a good impression. Respect the laws and respect the fences, demand the same from the men you hunt with.
We need to do all we can to improve the image of dog hunters.
