K Roger. But one if the little mother fricker gets put back in the yard and sits on your truck and writes his name with his claws? I completely understand the fact that you are an animal lover and don't want to kill someones pet.
But there is only so much you can do before it's time to take steeper measures. Which is exactly the situation BP is talking bout. You're just argumentative.

I jus think Roger thinks his shite doesn't stink because he lives in AK. Like everybody is supposed to submit to his opinions because, somehow, he is a better outdoorsman for living in the mountains. I think that thin air is getting to him.

And he used to be a swinger.

There are exceptions to every rule. I had to shoot a wolf once I was very fond of, but it had to be done. I will not shoot someones pet though, unless it is threatening my life or someone elses.

Eh, not that proud of it..


Be back later, christmas party.

I have ZERO problem with shooting an animal that (dog, cat, human) that needs to be shot. Now, which ones "need" to be shot is up for debate. If you shoot a dog around me, you better have a damn good reason. I have shot them when I was growing up because they couldn't do their job. Those were mostly deer hounds or bird dogs. I have knocked puppies in the head because reasons from cleft palates to the mother just not being able to support all of them. Before anyone gets pissy over any of this, I have also stayed up all night feeding puppies with syringes. Spent hours upon hours sewing hog dogs back together. Given my last sandwich to a stray hound wandering to woods. I can keep going in both directions.

My point is that the recent epidemic of personifying pets is directly related to the pussification of America. There was a time that these animals had a job. They were a tool for a job, and just like any tool, when they no longer did their job they were no longer needed. They were a mouth to feed when there wasn't always enough food for all the mouths. So what do you expect those people to do? Pay a vet to put an animal to sleep? That's if there was even a vet available. Now, I'm sure you'll say that those times are gone, and for the most part, they are. BUT the people that grew up that way aren't.

While I don't buy the whole shooting a dog from the stand thing, I'm not throwing stones at those that do. If it's my dog, I'd be pissed, but ultimately, wtf was my dog doing unattended around your stand? Now, if you shoot my squirrel dog with an orange vest on, you better have two bullets, cause you're gonna have a problem.

Your opinion, and you certainly are entitled to it. I have been a guide, trapped, hunted and fished ...some of these longer than a few of you have been on the planet. We just have differing ideas of what is appropriate.

You don't understand the bond between man and dog. I don't hold that against you. I do have the ability to see how other people see things. You should try this as well.

Later.
