Aaron Proffitt 142 Posted November 2, 2009 Report Share Posted November 2, 2009 I had a blue gyp Stag shot last year that was in pursuit of a coyote . The ranch hand that shot her said she was chasing cattle, which she was not as the pasture she was shot in had no cattle on it in the first place. By the time it was all said and done I was reimbursed for the dog and the guy was in the unemployment line by Monday morning. His employer was with me at the time. Quote Link to post

marky r 25 Posted November 2, 2009 Report Share Posted November 2, 2009 if my dog worried livestock farmer wouldnt need to shoot it id do it myself if he shot it for no reason i hope he could either fight or hide! Quote Link to post
Night Hunter 109 Posted November 2, 2009 Report Share Posted November 2, 2009 just err on the side of caution guys it states on my firearms certificate that the firearm can be used for ''the shooting of animals for the protection of other animals or humans'' this is the exact wording it does not say livestock and i think all the keeper would have to say is that he approached you to tell you to keep your dog under control and put it on a lead as per the countryside access code and your dog went for him so he shot it ........your word against his and you better believe that he would have a witness if he was approaching any one with his rifle Quote Link to post

hily 379 Posted November 2, 2009 Report Share Posted November 2, 2009 (edited) WHY ? sorry just realised i've started to do what i was trying to hi light and that is squabbling amongst ourselfs .CHALKWARREN I aimed the comment at the topic starter who was telling us about the shooting of lurchers he did not witness ,and as most lurcher men know each other in their area i am surprised that he could not check out the facts with his mates and post the shooting of lurchers as a fact and not as hearsay atb.
