Reading all the posts about the dog situation brings me back years ago when i took my hunter education class and one phrase i can remember by the instructer was "if you ever see a stray dog or cat out in the field i wouldn't hesitate to shoot it" ,,not that i would though but only if it were a threating situation, the pioint the instructor was making was because of all the stray animals that would go and harrass wound or kill game.
