An update on my vicious dog experience

[zapper223]

I just wanted to let ya'll know the status of my experience with the dog while coyote hunting. I haven't heard a thing since I wrote my statement for the forestry police. I appreciate the understanding that the vast majority of guys on the site showed me. I still think about the experience often and really wish the outcome would have been different but such is life. Can't dwell on woulda, shoulda ,coulda. I regret having to shoot the dog but would do the same again in such a situation.
                              Thanks to everyone who understood,

Yep, dats right zapper, c'est la ve (such as life). I don't think you had a choice in your case to shoot or not to shoot the dog. It was either shoot the dog or end up scarred for the rest of your life from a possible mauling :shock: . I woulda done the same thing if I was in the same situation. Let that be some consolation. Take care.

When do statute of limitations time expire in such matter, inquire Dali Llama? :?

Thats good news Zapper. Hope the thing is over for you. It's easy to sit back and express opinions until you are  put in the real situation.

The forestry folks probably told the guy he did not have a case and to drop it. I keep my Cocker on a leash. He retreives but I cannot get him to pick up a bird so until I can cure that I do not really hunt him but if I did have him loose he would be in my sight as I keep a tight rein on him.  Since this guy never seen you shoot the dog he was far enough away that he did not have CONTROL over his dog that would be in your favor.
