I'm the kind of hunter that thinks a wild dog deserves the same fate as a yotebutI am willing not to slip a broadhead thru his lungs in the off chance he is someones pet. Better that the dog makes it home with a bruised A$$ than not make it home at all.
Don't worry young fella. A rubber blunt in the butt is not gonna killem although it's gonna send him on his way fast.
Have you ever seena pack of "pets" on the trail of deer?? I have and they can do as much harm as any yote.

I think without being certain that you can legally shoot a dog worrying the deer in some states although thats not my game and I like dogs. I just make sureI keep mineunder control.
PS.. 13 posts and you want to shoot squirrels with a toy. You should wait a bit before you question my ethics.
