    I don't usually have the deer problem (have before though). Lately it's been some stray dog that just won't go away and stay away. I refuse to feed it as I do not know the history of the dog, but it seems to be running circles in the neighborhood as it shows up every 4 days like clockwork.

    Other than that, just the normal squirrel and rabbit.

    I posted on here about two years ago about the same thing. I was trying to site in a rifle and had a yearling and its mom show up and hung around behind the back stop while I shot. It was very strange. That was at my range.

    I remember a IHMS shoot that was stopped because a dog that was running a rabbit through the targets. The rabbit made it to the woods with the dog on its tail and the match was back on.

    Was doing some 200 yd shooting two weeks ago in Lagrange when I lost sight of my target through my scope because deer were crossing between me and my target. And I was not the only one on the range.
