[dadfsr]

Buster-here is what Treeman11 posted in the Varmit thread:
a few years ago afriend of mine had his coon dog shot.while it was treed the land owner walk up and shot it. took him to court got paid for the dog plus future income from pups and stud fees. this was in indiana. we still have the right to free cast our dogs and go retrieve them from property we don't have permission on
Would you care to comment and maybe keep someone from getting their "property" shot?

You can free cast your dogs only on property in which you have permission to be on. If your dogs wander onto land that you do not have permission on, you are subject to arrest if you are caught on that land and the landowner wants prosecution. I have made hunting without consent cases just like this before. Its not a threat, but a fact. I have an obligation to the landowner if they want someone cited for hunting without consent. Keep that in mind. I will do my best to give you some guidelines to help the cause.
Number 1
Talk to the landowners EVERY year to make sure you still have permission and/or the land has not sold.
Number 2
Talk to the adjacent landowners and let them know you are hunting in the area and have dogs that may wander onto their land. Explain to them that coon dogs DO NOT know property lines and you may have the need to retrieve your dog. NO, YOU DO NOT HAVE THE RIGHT TO ENTER UPON SOMEONE ELSE"S LAND TO GET YOUR DOG WITH OUT THEIR PERMISSION. A landowner CAN keep you from entering their land. Failure to comply with their wishes WILL result in trespass charges. If they tell you 'NO' then its time to call your local CO or County Deputy and ask them to assist you in speaking with the landowner. If they still say "No", then that's the way it is.
Number 3
(You are probably asking yourself "What in the heck am I supposed to do, leave my dogs?") If an adjacent landowner tells you they don't want you to come onto their land to retrieve your dog(s), maybe YOU should take the initiative to avoid a potential confrontation/shot dog and hunt somewhere else.
