I had a dog run away this past weekend so this talk of making them "disappear" hits a little too close to home. This dog is normally in a kennel & never out without supervision. While I was duck hunting in LA my son let 4 dogs out. 1 flew the coop while he was playing with the others. The one that escaped was a highly titled hunt test dog. The cost to replace her would shock most deer hunters. Thankfully, she returned safely Sunday morning.

In this instance I am very well acquainted with the landowners on either side of me. Casually shooting this dog would have resulted in lost leases next year. All ended well but not every dog is an uncared for mutt & "hunters" need to think of this before they bump a safety.
