Glad I read that. I saw the ad and thought it might be an interesting outfit to join for a new hunter like myself looking for a place to hunt close by.
Shot dog, thought it was a wolf

Bingo . I wonder how people will feel when , in the future this guy ( who cannot tell the difference between a wolf and an Akbash ), shoots a person because it looked like a deer . This person didn't make sure of his target , simple as that .

every single person who allows their dog to roam says this. the fact is you nor anyone else who sets their dog free knows exactly what the dog has been up to and thinking that your dog is an angel because disgruntled neighbors haven't complained is absurd. that's like saying a car thief is innocent, as long as he isn't caught.
allowing your mutt to roam off your property sure sounds like a great idea, eh? i really like the "my dog is going to go wherever it wants and you better accept it" attitude some of you have
Sorry but thats not my attitude. And I don't even own a dog. My attitude is that a sheep dog can't be chained up to do its job. All dogs aren't perfect like you and they sometimes roam once in a blue moon.
I can't believe how harsh people are being about this dog. But I guess I don't know the whole story so lets all assume that the dog that was shot deserved it....Lets just forget about how the the shooter didn't identify his target.

If by that you mean one of those landowners that shoots dogs that are harrassing stock, well...I guess if the shoe fits...OK. I can live with that. It's not something that gets done at random.
Having had several dogs dumped in our area over the years, a couple more that 'visited' to chase our cattle and sheep, and in one case, a small pack of them that showed up in our area doing that, I can say with some confidence that I have no problem shooting one if need be.
That, as described above, in this post, by me, is a different situation than what got the dude in hot water.
Aside from not having much of a clue, the subject of this particular thread apparently couldn't shoot worth a damn either, as the dog survived.

I think location and circumstances need to be addressed, not just a blanket statement saying "you can't ever shoot dogs". I've shot a few over the years, they were strays and chasing deer and livestock and fighting with friend's dogs.
Ya srry , Akbash looks like a dog to me , there is a resembalance but ... not enough , I think the guy made a stupid mistake and paid acordingly. Not %100 sure ? not shooting, plain and simple.
ill add to my post ... someone shot my dog while hunting it would get PHUCKN UGLY !!! Really happy to hear the dog survived

Not true. If you shoot a dog in Alberta, even if it's chasing or harassing game, you can and should be charged.
If it happens to be a well bred hunting dog, you could additionally be sued for the value of the dog, which nowadays can easily push 4 or 5 grand.
I'm pretty confident he was completely sure of his target and just chose to shoot the dog out of spite...or for what ever reason he felt justified. Unfortunately for him he got caught. Reading comments on the other website and posters on this thread who've known him for a very long time have convinced me he is a somewhat remorseless @ssh0le who made a decision to shoot a dog encroaching on his coyote hunt in an effort to keep it from chasing his game away and ensure a more successful hunt.

i fully agree that a sheep dog can't be chained up to do it's job. but, how does roaming the bush, running roads, and wandering onto other peoples property have anything to do with protecting or herding the sheep he left back at home on the farm? how is the "guard dog" going to ward off yotes and crooks when he's 3 concessions away chasing a deer through the bush, fighting with another dog, causing someone hundreds in damage to their car if they hit it, or laying in the bush dead?
once in a blue moon is totally expected, but there are idiots out there (on here?) who think it's okay to let their dog roam wherever it likes ALL THE TIME. there's a huge difference between a farm dog that does what it's supposed to do and a mutt that wanders at free will because some lazy idiot can't take the time to train and/or control his dog.
because of ignorant people allowing their mutts to wander i've seen:
-livestock killed
-GOOD dogs seriously injured from protecting their livestock
-3 separate car/dog collisions from a cracked bumper to a mangled bumper, headlight, rad, hood, windshield, etc on another
-multiple small game kills and a few deer being chased
BTW...i think he knew exactly what he was shooting at

That is hitting the nail right on the head when it comes to Rob Goudreault, or just Goudreault as he was referred to in our youth. He knows the difference, trust me. He is a Northern Ontario boy, born and raised, he knows a wolf from a dog. He chose to blast their dog and got caught, plain and simple. I emailed the link to the article to the guys back home and all said the same thing back in response "Oh I see he is still up to his old tricks, some things never change"!!
