Mike Arnold Webboard User Reg: 07-09-2004 Posts: 1344 Loc: CNY Offline	Mr. Oas, I did a search - and I ain't the most nimble of of searchers - and can't find any other reference to the accident you posted. Do you have more information or sites which might provide more detail? As a hunter, and a hunter education instructor, and a fellow who frequently wanders in the woods with his GSDs, the story grabbed my full attention. Mike A. Mike A. "I wouldn't touch that dog, son.

That was my first question too, but I suppose that hunters take more than one shot at a deer. If it was through the bushes, or in low light conditions, I suppose it could happen. It's really, really sad. I live in an area where there is much hunting close to the population, and I'm never sure where hunting is allowed and where it isn't. This reminded me how important it is for me and my dog to wear a orange vest during hunting season. Carbon

Dan Oas Webboard User Reg: 09-21-2004 Posts: 190 Loc: MI Offline	Mike- (no need for Mr. here!) All I have is that link to a somewhat incomplete report... I love hiking my dogs thru the woods in nearby state land, but forego that pleasure the last half of November. Even in the posted "safety zones" too close to housing to be safe, I simply avoid it. After seeing this, thought it best to mention it. Because just this one incident is too many!

He went to investigate, he 'mistook' the dog for deer getting up and then shot the dog.
