Last year I was in my livingroom and could hear a dog barking on the run. You need to understand that me and my father-in-law own all of the land that surrounds my house. So as he got closer to my house I went and got my Ruger 10/22 and when I stepped out onto the porch a doe was in the creek that runs in front of my house. She had been run so far that her tounge was hanging out. When I stepped out she ran off and whenin a few seconds here came a beagle so when it got to where the deer had been standing I let the Ruger bark. That dog had a collar but was turned loose. You guys say that you can't control when a dog gets loose but you can and it's not our responsiblity to catch the dog or contact you to come and get it. You need to take responsibilty for not being more careful. JMHO
