This is common sense
 

The dogs may not see property lines, but their owners can. The dog hunters have had a long leash and if reasonable actions aren’t made to find common ground with the landowners, it will end up on a public ballot and dog hunting will go away. Dog hunters can’t continue to walk around with the attitude that they are above the law because their dog identifies as a hunting dog. 

it is simple enough to realize you can shut the landowners up if we keep dogs off the land of which we have no permission. This we we can keep dog hunting and bring an end to the divided hunting community. I don’t want to see dog hunting go away but if we can’t at least stop our dogs from trespassing we will lose it altogether.
