A quick pop between the eyes with a 22lr and the problem is gone. Just dump the remains somewere coyotes can get at them and they will clean up.

And you'd be sure to get same treatment in return messing with the wrong persons family pet.
Or at least your legs broke and or car/home set on fire and rightly so.
Why don't you google "Ruby Ridge" and 'Randy Weaver' and look at the outcome of shooting someones dog?
 
My Wife and my hunting buddies Wife did their hunters ed course a few months ago and we posed this question to the instructor......He said 100% with out a doubt its LEGAL to shoot any dog that is chasing game out of season.....He also said you need no proof of the dog chasing game if the dog is trespassing in the process....

I would still contact the MNR in your area and have one of the C/O's come explain this to the owner that you are with in your rights to shoot the dog if its seen chasing game.

A dog getting shot for trespassing and chasing game out of season is not messing with some ones family pet......Its the owners responsibility to keep tabs on their dog and theirs alone.....if their stupidity leads to their family pet getting shot then the bloods on their hands.
 
I would draw up a letter and send it registered mail, tell the dogs owner that if he doesn't stop the dog from entering your property you intend to dispatch it. It is your legal right to protect your property from predators, unfortunately in this case is is a dog.
The letter opposed to "telling" him will protect you from him saying something dumb, as people often do, like "he said he was gonna shoot anything that came over there" or "he said he was going to get a gun and now I am scared". Once the letter is confirmed as picked up, shoot the dog.
A client called me a few months ago, said coyotes were driving his cows through the fences and hired me to deal with them. I set up and when the animals emerged in my scope it turned out they were a beautiful pair of German Shepard puppies. I tracked them down to the next door neighbour, a guy renting a country house and told him that I was hired to stop his dogs from crossing the fence and that if he did not find a way to prevent them from coming over the next time he sees my truck it will be to hand him the carcases for disposal, or I would dispose of the bodies or a fee.
They took the proper steps and kept the dogs at home. I don't know if I would have shot them, they were beautiful! I may have tried to catch them first. Either way, it ended.

Did they all go out for cake and pie after and then became life long friends? I love stories with happy endings.V:I:

Nope, a 13 year old boy witnessed his dog being shot and cut down two marshalls with a mini 14
one choked to death in the bush on his own blood after having his chin blown off
Emotions run high with family pets, feral dogs are different matter altogether.

You have issues.
I just read all 8 of your posts in this forum and none are firearm related, you seem to have your own agenda and it is an odd one.
I wont try to explain the difference between a guy trying to protect his property against predators and shooting a man between the eyes then moving on to arson, because I am pretty sure you understand that what you just typed has crossed a line.

With drivel like this I believe you need to leave your a bad representation of gun owners on this board.

Actually i think posting a question if its alright to shoot someones pet on an open forum gives a repugnant representation of gun owners.
"drivel" would be people advising to do so but don't be seen or heard and don't get caught.
 
I'm not in your province, but I expect you'll find the relevant laws and regulations say you can only shoot the dog yourself to defend your self, other people, or your own livestock, and if it is illegal for the owner to let his dog harass or attack wildlife, you should only go as far as informing the enforcing authorities.
 
While you can legally shoot the dog, I would suggest it's a very last resort, and the dog better be on your property. Let me pose this question...If your dog is in your yard, and a deer comes into your yard, what do you expect a dog to do? This is a problem with any herd/working dog that isn't under direct supervision. I would suggest very few farm dogs are under direct supervision while in their farm yard.

Yes finally not some small #### idiot with a recent PAL is responding, and to the rest of you can a LONE german sheperd catch a deer?
NO! it can't, this is just a bored pet doing what comes natural to it
If it chased off coyotes would you want to kill it?
Ultimatley most responding to this thread have no problem stalking and shooting the f**king deer, but heaven forbid a highly intelectual breed of dog that is chosen for police/military service and seeing eye for the blind chases it off its property.

i would be suprised if anyone who posted to shoot the dog lives in a rural setting...this isnt a new occurance....where i come from this happens all the time..animal wanders through the yard...dogs take chase

seen my share if neighbors dogs end up in my yard chasing a deer or moose and it always ended with a quick phone call to said neighbor who came to pick up his dog...usually with a cold six pack to say thanks for the call

if you cant talk this out with the neighbor IN PERSON where people can look into each others eyes...then call the authorities...dont shoot the dog cause the owner is lazy

theres my opinion
