Q: I have dogs trespassing on my hunting land. How do I force the owners to restrict this? DEC wont do much, wrote 1 ticket
numerous pictures of the dogs, all over my property. Owners were asked numerous times to tie their dogs up. That didnt work so I had DEC go speak to them and they were given a warning. Didn't work, so DEC went back and issued a ticket. Didn't work, now DEC is telling me they cant do anything but write a ticket. I shouldn't be held hostage on my land, as I'm being told I cant shoot them for chasing deer, I basically have no recourse and its caused me to have a horrible hunting season (worst in the 18 years ive owned the land) and I'm losing patience.

A: You can sue the owners civilly and also seek a temporary restraining order to get immediate relief pending the outcome of the lawsuit.
