Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire She Shot a Husky

Sams little pup?

She don't look like she's part mastiff.

No, the chick.

Agreed. If this same dog ate lead because it was running a deer, everyone here would be applauding.

Taking it upon one's self to shoot someone else's pet, or livestock, because you don't like it's present location may not be prudent in all situations and jurisdictions.

One was running deer, one came running to me when I was opening a gate. Keep your dog on your property or on a leash, it's your responsibility as a pet owner. I'm not putting up with someone's animals causing me grief on my property.

Certainly. There are ways of going about things properly.

I don't care if a dog is running deer I won't shoot them for that. In fact it's illegal to do so here. Very rarely will a dog catch a deer or run it to exhaustion or death.. You can legally shoot them for harassing or killing livestock.

Owners who let any domestic predator run wild should not be surprised when it ends up shot.

Back in my Ute, almost every woodchuck hunt resulted in killing one or more feral cats.

Some were bigger that BobCats.

Many wild dog packs were culled during deer season.

Just 4 legged versions of Jambonies in the inner city,

It's no worse than this 'elk' shot in MT by a hunter from NY a few years ago.

Yeah right.

Pounds in the Missoula area are full and often won’t take in anymore, especially a whole litter or so I have been told. I am guessing it is the same up in the Flathead?

To the thread in general: I despise folks dumping dogs and have seen it a few times over the years. I have shot some, but only after seeing them several times and they’re either obviously feral or they’re constantly chasing livestock/wildlife.

If I can catch them and they look even relatively well cared for, I will try to find the owner and take them to a vet to see if they’re microchipped. I am a dog lover but only give them so many chances before they catch a bullet.

Yeah,

she could prolly throw you a good one though.

What, you've never seen a "domestic predator?"


We used to have one, he was relentless. Golden retriever, patrolled the premises and if he ever so much as got wind of a stray hot dog or ice cream cone, it was toast.

Little kids with hot dogs or ice cream cones were kind of a specialty for him. Snatch the goods right out of their grubby little fingers.

I honestly do not know if the pound up here is full.
Your solution sounds good and reasonable.
I am not for never shooting a dog. At times it's appropriate.
It should never be the first and only solution!!!!

Alpha..... no doubt

Daughter's farmer boyfriend has takin in four feral dogs in the last several months, using three to guard equipment now in some very remote and isolated property. The other one he made a pet which absolutely adores dear daughter. Well all the dogs love her, the messican workers and other people not so much I'm told.

This one likes chasing down rabbits and bringing them back prizes.

He may have been just indicating a lack of belief in anything Larry Root says.

Nah. Wonder if Rene is indicating that UpThePole idiot is just another Maser / NoElkSlayer/ Jason Cardenas sock puppet.

Several years ago there were 3 dogs frequenting my place that killed every fawn born that year. To understand the problem I would have to show you an aerial photo or take you for a ride around. There are 70 acres adjoining me that has about 7 or 8 trailer houses of black folks that have dogs which used to run amok, they were bad dogs. One of the 3 dogs was a big solid black and I have never seen a dog that could chase a deer that fast. He had 2 white dog companions almost as fast that would come in behind him. One day after carrying my rifle all day looking for him to show up I finally climbed up in a box stand at about 4:30 to try for a deer. A doe came streaking through at top speed, then the black dog so fast I couldn't get a shot. I had been trying to get a shot on him for a month after getting lots of pictures and finding several half eaten fawns. I called the state trapper for advice. He told be to set a big Conibear body grip trap with the trigger on bottom and to tie some red raw meat to the trigger which is what I did, and I had him the next morning dead as a hammer. Then I caught one of the white ones and the other was put into captivity by the owners.

As for that Husky the girl killed. They are bad dogs out in the country also. My neighbor to the north had 2 calves killed by a mama Husky/Pit hybrid and her 4 big pups about 8 to 10 months old. He made the mistake of complaining to the keeper of the dogs and was rebuffed. He went and climbed up in a nearby box blind and when they returned he shot the mama dog first and then shot all 4 of the young dogs.

Dogs will certainly kill deer and calves. I think for the most part we have convinced the black folks their dogs ain't comin' home if they come our way. We bought our place with our own money to raise cattle and hunt not to provide entertainment and beef and venison for bad dogs.
