I have been yelled at by landowners who had dogs kill their chickens. Thinking i owned ghe dog or hunted with them. Found the dog and was a sad looking dog. Tracking collar on its neck skinny and looked just tired. Collar showed location almost two hours away. Dog was left there from a saturday hunt. It was Tuesday or Wednesday afternoon.

Another joke is retirement's kennels for deer dogs when people ask what happens to older dogs. So I started asking people who I know run if they ever heard of such.

I got everything from
Take off collar and drop off
Call animal control to pick up
Put up for adoption
shooting the dogs who won't run

But none have ever heard of this retirement kennel.

Go figure....

Most dog runners are scared to get 10 feet from their truck or the road. When hunting let alone when trying to find their dogs.
