Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Therapy dog killed by bowhunter

Keep your dog on your own property and this won't happen. Doesn't matter what the dog is or does you're responsible for it. I know if my "therapy" dog was on the loose, I'd be walking around hollering for it or asking for neighboring properties to keep a lookout, but thats not going to happen because she's fenced in and I keep her on a leash when she isn't. If you can't be responsible with your dog, don't get one.

Shooting anything in the head with an arrow is stupid, much less a dog.

The media hasn't learned a damn thing from this past election and will continue to slide. They are right to question the moron for shooting the dog but they should dump the liberal narrative and start asking the "loving pastor" why the hell he didn't keep the animal on his property.

If responsibility came with a nice set of tits, betcha this world would be a better place!

Me too, just that the damn thing is never around when I need it.

THat's the dog??? jeez

Thinking I've given waaay too many bears a pass. Time to re-think my actions and perhaps take up taxidermy on the side.

The hunter was just being a dick. No reason to shoot that dog.

Yep...

That is just so wrong.

People are dicks.

That shooter (won't call the prick a hunter) ought to have that arrow shoved up his ass.

This.. The story just sounds fishy to me..

Exactly.

It's difficult for my to beleive a bowhunter would kill a dog unless the dog really was up close and acting aggressive.

I've had to shoot quite a few livestock chasing dogs in the past. Don't like it, but like the alternative less.

Did you LOOK at the picture of the "aggressive" dog? GMAFB..

It was a fuggin' Beagle, grab the bassturd by the throat and pin him up against a tree.

The fugger will run home like a scared cat.

This. It was an old beagle. SOB might have been dangerous to a biscuit.

Killing a dog like that because it charged you is akin to shooting your neighbor's toddler because it ran up to you with a butter knife.

It's not that hard to understand. Private property. Don't cross that line and everything else takes care of itself.

It's a damn good thing you don't have public land and that you have to pay for the privilege to hunt. Your attitude and lack of logic or compassion would be your downfall around here. You wouldn't last a week. You typify the ugly, arrogant Texan that most westerners can't stand.

I have a bud who grew up in a similar situation on a farm and had to shoot dogs to protect the livestock. Bud had to shoot the neighbor's pet dog after repeatedly harassing/killing livestock. Didn't go over well and the neighbor had to stare at the barrel of a shotgun until the sheriff arrived.

That buddy hates him some dogs. He showed up at my house years ago when the roommate and I both had dogs- he hadn't been over before at that time. He got literally two steps inside the door before all three of the dogs were lined up next to me, growling and ready to attack my friend. Dogs just know. Most dogs are better than most people.

You got dogs, keep them on your property. Keep them well trained. They leave your property, they might get hurt. I LOVE dogs. But they need to be under control. End of story.
