I would never shoot a dog without reason and huskys are larger than coyotes so there shouldn't be any confussion. If the dog is chasing livestock it is just cause if it is your livestock or the land owner has given you permission.

I agree with herb I would be pissed if someone shot my dog just because it was walking in the woods. Unless he attacked me then of course it would be game on!

and as long as its NOT the neighbours dog

But if you have to shoot do it.

I wouldn't shoot it, that could leave somebody heart broken, if the dog habitually visits the location then I would seek alternative methods, but not the first time I see the dog.

Dogs and deer will use the same paths. There have been times that a dog will walk by me smelling deer and later the deer will come by smelling the dogs trail. Typically I keep quiet because of 2 reasons. One- You dont know if that is a normal routine. Two- Yelling hey or whistling to it can make you a new hunting buddy that likes to bark.

I've seen feral dogs in deer country, and I've seen domestic pets that the owners (for some unknown reason) brought afield during deer season. I'd look for a collar, or grooming, or some indication of care. I definitely wouldn't shoot at a dog I recognize as belonging to a neighbor. If it's unfamiliar and running game, cattle or other livestock, I'd consider a shot but I wouldn't risk killing a household pet. I've been asked to eliminate feral dog packs, and I've done so, but these were unkempt critters exhibiting pack behavior and they were running dairy cattle.

You can't shoot the dog because of the owner's ignorance.

I would not shoot it. I would be really mad if someone shot my dog.

Don't shoot the dog. It belongs to someone. Who knows, he may chase a deer to you.

take an "air soft" pistol with you won't hurt the dog (it will give it a nice welt though) that shuld keep it out of thre thats what i do any way

I wouldnt shoot it. I had this problem up at my uncles farm. The only difference is it was my uncles dog. He would end up somehow following me to my stand. I would usually end up throwing my soda bottle or something that i could afford not to have in the stand with me until i got down. He would take the hint when the bottle nearly hits him and wander on back to the house.

Don't shoot. Normally deer scent and follow just for curiosity. Besides I have seen just normal sooners track and run deer and a deer will always come back. You are much more likely to kill a deer, a big deer in front of a dog than sitting up a stand watching bait. Besides you try running the deer off you may just make enough noise to run your deer off as well. I would only shoot if I felt threatened.

If I didn't know who the dog belonged to and I could clearly see that it was a wild dog than yes I would shoot it.
