Poachers in Full Force

Ah the joys of Sunday mornings in the Ozarks. Since the weather has been so bad on the weekends, we have seen no dogs nor poachers. But today we saw 100 dogs, 7 trucks and 7 people blocking roads and running hounds around the neighbors cattle. Two dogs ran at my ducks on my property and were met by my very angry shepherd. We drove out to church and our country roads were blocked with 3 dog filled vehicles. They were slow and reluctant to get out of the way. They were not from Summersville and are not welcomed here. By noon we saw two more blocking our home road by our house. This got old fast. They finally packed it up and left the area. We hope they took all their dogs with them. These people left cans and food bags where they waited for their dogs. We do not like this ugly side of rural living. People think they can do anything with pasture, back roads and no one around. These poachers think they are untraceable and untouchable. They had no idea they were being watched. We might be country farmers but we are not dumb.
