Does everyone agree, that if the dog wasn't on the property it got shot on ... it probably would still be alive!
I re-call a story where a dogran through an un-lockedgate, and ran out into traffic, and caused an accident,with injuries and the dog died.
Whose fault was it? The dog owner,for not having/being in control of his dog.
Ok now you're being logical. Leave your dogs on a leash while hunting. Great idea. You must be pretty fast if you can run with your dogs on a leash and keep up with the game (not just deer but coon, pheasants, anything hunted with a dog). The dog was doing what it was trained to do, running deer is legal where this took place so I can't believe that people are that ignorant to blame the dog. The owner wasn't breaking any laws also so how is he to blame. If the game a dog is chasing runs off of the big piece of land you are on how is that the owners fault. Come on guys be logical, use facts to base claims not emotions!!!
How do you hunt pheasant or any other birds with a dog that goes out of site? Any good bird dog is going to keep up with his owner and if it doesn't it's the owner's fault.
