This sure stirred up a can of worms. I remember one person once was mentioning how his dog had flushed out snipe. And another woman at Monkey run reassuring me her dog who was racing through the woods wouldn’t bother us he only loved hunting and killing chipmunks. As a dog owner who always has her dog leashed it would be impossible for me to even keep count of the number of “perfect “ unleashed dogs have suddenly completely gone off script and approached my dog with much aggressive posturing. I feel a total anxiety attack while walking my dog and I have never been afraid of dogs. It is inconceivable tinned how people can do totally disregard both signs and the comfort of others. And the impact of their canines on the woodland creatures off trail. I am wondering if the unleashed dogs who behave always stay at their owners sides.
Linda Orkin living near Sapsucker woods. And also witnessing dogs there. And having people come very close to my face to retrieve their growling dogs.
