Rico, first off, I am not talking about shooting a dog that just happens to be 50 yrds across a property line. I'm talking about a dog that is a mile from the nearest house. I'm also not talking about shooting a dog the first time I see it is not chasing a deer. I am talking about repeat offenders, over and over. The owners don't care what what the dogs do all day, who they terrorize, or what other animals the dogs chase down and kill. It's amazing to me how someone can claim the "love their dog" so much but not love it enough to keep it at home. Do they let their kids run free day and night and go anywhere they please, I would hope not. So why let their dogs do that? In all honesty the dogs get into a whole lot more trouble than the kids would.lol

Rico, I'm sorry, I'm a hunter. I enjoy wildlife and the deer and I will NOT stand by and let Rover run down, kill, maime, wound, run off, and harm the health of an ENTIRE deer herd. Again, if you don't believe this is a serious problem do some research on the web. I've done tons of it and the facts are scary. Again, 99.9% of the dogs we are talking about here aren't a case of Fido getting lose one time, these are cases of the owners just not caring enough to keep their dogs on their property. Plain and simple.
