i think half you guys are exagerating the situation and half full of crap.

i know several people who's dogs have ended up missing during hunting season ...shot by some knucklehead thinking they are harassing the deer. so what if they are chasing them around a bit the deer are tough and will get by just fine.

i'll tell you one thing, and imagine i'm not the only one who feels this way, but if some Ahole ever shot my dog they would get the a$$ whipping of a lifetime.
