Default Domestic dogs chasing game!

So on stand last night, real quit out, 4pm I hear a ruckus behind me and a doe busts out under my stand, full out, no flag just eating up realestate...5 seconds later I hear a freight train a coming, up, gun ready and it's a bull terrier type dog, one yell it stops in its tracks and bolts the way it came...today same thing but it was a Shepard and small lab...landowners are going to shoot these dogs and I can't blame'em...let your dogs out chain'em up...I tell ya if it was on dark and I was walking out and hell on feet was barreling towards me...other than that lots of new scrapes opened up!

Default I live in the country

People are OK with the odd dog getting away from the owner but dogs that are running loose all the time can chase game and or livestock and are routinely shot. Had one neighbor approach another neighbor many years ago about keeping his dogs on his property and the other neighbor was not receptive to the suggestion his dogs were running stock in the corral. Two weeks late 2 dead dogs and one wounded in the corral. RCMP as well as MD AG man were called. Owner of dogs was nearly charged.

I warned a neighbor I had coyote traps on my land to protect the birds and didnt want his shepherd/malamute cross in my yard. A few weeks later I put a 22-250 bullet just behind his dog which I figured would be end of loose dogs. Nope it was killed on highway a few weeks later.
Unfortunately the dogs pay the price for bad owners.

I have one spot I hunt in bowzone where two dogs and a house cat are on camera every year. Killed a cow moose nov 29th last year and went for a whitetail walk with the shotgun a few days later, come over a ridge and the two dogs are just chowing down on the stinky moose guts!

Here we go.... hunters wanna shoot people's pets because they chase wildlife. Well you don't own the deer they're not your livestock so you'll just have to put that dog down and hope the owner doesn't send some lead towards you or suck it up. I saw a domestic dog chasing 5 elk. I kept on moving.

Well it's not up to me to control someone else's dog. Those elk were wild not farmed so they belong to no one.
