Dog hunting has been a long time hunting tradition in the state of NC and hunters have this right to hunt using this method. However, times have changed since the heydays of dog hunting. Once rural areas are now more populated and highways are much busier. This creates an incompatible situation with regards to dog hunting.
This petition is for the stretch of highway 15-501 between Aberdeen and Laurinburg, NC. Deercroft and other golf-home communities now occupy once prime hunting areas and the traffic between Aberdeen and Laurinburg has increased significantly over the years along this stretch of highway. Dog hunting along this area is not compatible with the increase in automobile traffic and peaceful home settings along this stretch of highway.
Dogs don't understand nor care about the threat of traffic or where private property boundaries are. Dogs run deer with blinders on and as a result, put motorist along 15-501 at risk of hitting deer or dogs crossing the highway. This endangers their lives and the lives of others. Furthermore, these hunting dogs disrupt life on private property in many ways. Not only do they disrupt still hunters on private lands but these hunting dogs have been know to kill landowner's livestock and pets and create undue stress upon homeowners due to these hunting dogs running all over their property. It has also been observed that some of these hunters have no respect for private property and speed up and down roads tracking their dogs with radio collars. Often times, these hunters trespass to retrieve their dogs and in some bold cases actually hunt illegally on private property.
In summary, this is a petition to stop dog hunting on the NC Sandhills Game Lands in the vicinity of highway 15-501 between Aberdeen and Laurinburg. Even if this area was off limits to dog hunters, they would still have plenty of areas in which to hunt as there are almost 59,000 acres of land in the Sandhill Game Land area. If you would like to see dog hunting stopped on the Sandhills Game Lands in this specific area, please sign this petition and spread the word for others to sign. Only a strong voice from homeowners and landowners in this area can affect this change. If you sign and also live in this affected area, please make a note of it in the comments section. This petition will be shown to local Wildlife Commissioners to help strengthen our position.

Recently, I had to retrieve a deer hunting did gram a neighbors chicken lot. The dog had kill 3 hens and was chasing another. The dog owner reluctantly paid for the 3 chicken. I might add the dog was mighty aggressive.. I have property on Carpenter Rd. and the unleash hunting dogs using the Sandhills game land has been unbareable.
So I guess people that have been raised to hunt dogs is just out of a hobby, an the still hunters should just have everything to there self 99 percent of people that want dogging to be stopped have no clue how it's even done they just listen to wat somebody else tells them an spreads the word a still hunter can trespass as easy as a dogger or easier so I don't understand why it's always the dogger that gets put down there is a few that may not do things legal but there are also still hunters that do wrong to I don't understand why people always wanna ruin fun for other people I mean if a deer is that important that you gotta stop wat another man lives for then you need to fence your back yard in an raise deer for the most part that's all still huntin is anyway it's like huntin a cow you feed them year round plant them a beautiful food plot to eat on then set there an wait for one to get hungry that's the cheapest huntin you can do all I'm sayin is that doggin is actually awesome an it's no where near as bad as people make it out to be an if you have never tried it I would highly recommend it you would never set up a tree again
Thank you for your time and signatures on this matter. Upon a recent conversation with a NC State Senator who strongly supports the goal of this petition, it was recommended that I take this online petition down and let him take matters into his own hands. So for now, I am very hopeful that we will see a change o our liking for the 2016 hunting season.

If dog hunters could control them enough to stay on designated territory it would not be an issue but me being a still hunter I am sick of seeing dogs ruin my hunts.
