Replying to nobody

It is pretty common practice in rural areas for people to shoot dogs seen chasing deer or livestock. We lost a hunting dog when I was a kid when two of them got off their run and disappeared for a few days for an adventure. Only one returned and it had a lot of blood spatter on it. I suspect the male was shot. It was a shame, but it seemed to be an unwritten rule, in that area anyway.

I have told my neighbors in the past who have allowed dogs to roam too freely, I will shoot your dog if it’s on my property, but feel free to do the same. Each owner is responsible for keeping their dog where it belongs.

In some states it’s illegal to run deer with dogs at all. I was surprised to hear a rancher in Wyoming tell me that, and it’s a death sentence for the dog if they get caught doing it.
