When my dog was missing my first assumption was the dog had been shot by a "hunter". While my wife looked, she noted the locations of every truck. This dog has been out of immediate control only one time in the last year. Unfortunately it was the deer opener.
Someone is either a first class Internet fisherman or enjoys kicking & killing dogs. If the former, I salute you. If the latter, I will put aside my personal feelings & pray for you.
I never said that= I enjoyed kicking that dog. What the heck was I suppost to do???? I tried to run it off, it would not leave. I could not find a big rock, only small ones and corn cobs. I was not going to let it ruin MY hunt. I also would not kill a neighboring land owners pet. I know the old man, we have no problems. I wanted the dog gone. I kicked it. It left, end of story. SAw it , in its yard the next day, its jaw was not wired shut! I know people that have legitimate beefs with dog deer hunter. They are friends of mine. Even these guys don't ENJOY killing dogs. But there comes a point that enough is enough.
