A couple of years ago I was sitting in my stand listening a couple dogs come my way from a long way out. After a couple of hours they had made it to my stand and proceeded to bark every couple of seconds at the rabbit hole at the base of my tree. I think they there were just a couple house dogs out taking themselves for a walk; rather than hunting dogs. I have to admit it was pretty annoying situation (I wish I would have had the bright idea to wiz on them like the other guy.) When I got back to camp I told some of the other guys what had happened and they quickly responded "you should have shot them." There is no way I would shoot a dog for ruining a hunt. I can only image how it would feel if someone arrowed my dog. I think that anyone that would shoot a dog in that situation needs to re-examine their life and perhaps consult a psychologist because their just not right.
