I've had some grown dogs chase deer out from under my stand before and I have thought real hard about what I would do if those dogs did it again. I see them out there still chasing deer, but shooting a puppy -c-mon...most likely he couldn't control his temper by having a dog walk up while he was hunting most likely sealing the deal that no deer would be coming that way and decided to take it out on the puppy...kind of ridiculous!
