Anyone that tries to macho-justify killing a domestic dog that is running through the fields, private property or public property, for no reason other than the dog is (maybe) chasing a deer, is a jerk of the first kind
It's not that I don't agree with you, it's just that hearing you call someone else a jerk is so ironic
That being said I have dogs come in on me a few different times this year. One afternoon they actually spent more than and hour within 100 yards of my stand. However, if I am going to punish someone I would just go hit the owner in the mouth. It just isn't that big of a deal. I have from Oct. - Feb. to bowhunt and there will be a lot of other days. I don't like it, it pisses me off, but it's not the dogs fault. On the other hand, if the property belonged to me and the dogs were repeatedly running deer, I would kill them.
