I cant beleave the B.S you guys are posting. I have been a bow hunter for 35 years. and yes I have had deer scared away by dogs. Big deal. Most of then were dogs lost by fellow Coon hunters or Duck hunters. With a little effert I was able to track down the owners who were very grateful to get their hunting dog and kids pet back. I dont know what states some of you guys are from but In Wisconsin its aginst the law to shoot dogs even if you catch them in the act of chasing. I wouldnt blame anyone for protecting their family though. I personaly know of several dog shooting incidences in my area. One was a group of road hunters who were driving around looking for something to blast when they came accross a Beagle. Since this dog was by itself they assumed it was chasing deer and shot it. Another time my friends coon hounds got loose during the day and went on a run. Again some road hunters assumed they were chaising deer and shot them. Both groups of these Slob hunters were caught and taken to court. It sound to me that some of you guys are just looking to shoot something.
