deerdogdude.......No one should ever shoot a dog.....it`s stupid and a very wrong thing to do.......But what would you do if your hunt was screwed up time and time again on your private property and you talked to the guy or hunt club about it.....and it kept happening......then you call the Game Warden and it still happens because the excuse is always " they have the right to retrieve their dogs".......how would you handle it..????????.......just wondering .......any other dog hunters feel free to anwser also........
