re: How do you feel about dogs on your deer lease?

One of these to the arse are a good way to send them hollering back to the house no worse for wear. I used to keep one in the quiver, but I haven’t had problems with dogs in a while.

Those can definitely penetrate btw, I shot a coyote in the head with one at about 10 yards and it penetrated the skull. I had 3 arrows and one of these blunt in my quiver and walked up to a pack of coyotes on my way to stand. Hit one with a broadhead quartering away and it went through the ribs and into the back leg. It was still alive and I wanted my arrow back so I put it down with the blunt.

There's a difference between a random dog, and having neighbors or neighboring properties that routinely let dogs run.

What I attempted to point out is that you would, in fact, give a shite if someone blasted your dog.

Well of course I would be upset, but I know I’d have only myself to blame

And how would I feel if it was my dog:

It was, I was sad I lost a pet/investment. I was also understanding of the dogs disappearance and not at all angry with the ranch hand who put it down.
