The Big game houndsman forum is upping the reward. Its up to $4500 now. If you hear anything that can help post it here and I will get to the appropriate people or call the number listed on the biggamehoundsman.com post. Lets get some justice for the dog and the owner.  These dogs are our lives and families.

I would be browsing hunt forums looking for someone bragging about shooting a wolf with an arrow.

Dogs are family.  Sad deal

hopefully they find the guy! i wouldnt shoot an obvious hunting hound for no reason, mainly because thats someones property and probly have put alot of time and money into it....now if some wild dog foaming at the mouth was growling at me in the woods....id pop it in a heartbeat....coyotes are dogs too....not tryin to stir the pot too much but it still makes ya think how we as people rank labs as important as a human life but will blow a coyote off the face of the planet and be excited about it...last time i checked my lab has big teeth and four legs and is designed to kill and eat meat...somethin to think about....anyways! good luck, shooting someones dog just to be a *censored* bag isnt cool!

If the person is caught, I'll make it $50 more.

THREE TIMES, in the panhandle I have been on a bull, and have had hounds come ripping by on the chase.   Its called bad luck.  NOTHING to cause me to shoot one of them.  That's just nutz!

Same here on some busted elk hunts in the panhandle...but I have killed a cougar and bear with hounds before too.  Inexcusable to shoot someones dog in that scenario   I do wish they would modify seasons so hounds don't overlap archery elk hunts though.  I think most areas do stop hounds for rifle seasons to help reduce conflict.

My hunt was screwed up last weekend by Hounds, but I wished for different seasons, not to shoot the dogs. What kind of person would do that?  I wouldn't not call them a hunter though.

Thanks Jon. That's much appreciated. They are still looking for the person that did this. Someone is going to talk eventually. We just need to keep this search active and hope the person runs their mouth to much. Remember guys/gals we are all hunters with a common goal, to stay in the woods doing what we love.

hmmm, scenario...

Bugling bull is coming in... rogue/lost hound from previous day bear hunt comes strolling in and blows your chance at a bull you been trying to get on the last 4-5 days?

What would you do?

Seen it happen, first hand and wanted to kill him, but just did have the heart, but how many would??? Instead, packed him to camp called # on collar and spoke with owner on where to meet to drop the hound off.

I have ran into several hounds in the woods and turned them back into the owners. One hound twice in 2 weeks!!!

I sure as heck wouldn't shoot him.  I'm sure I've screwed up guys' hunts before when I've been out bird hunting.  I would hope to God that no one would shoot my bird dog just because he fouled up their hunt.

I hope this guy is caught and pays dearly.

I am a hunting dog magnet.  I've had hounds come to my door twice, and I've picked up a yellow lab pup, a female chocolate lab, a brittany and an English setter in the field while hunting.  Fortunately, they all had tags with phone numbers.  I did pick up a female black lab along Hwy 12 by Riffe Lake in 2001 with a broken rear foot and no ID - took her to the vet assuming she'd been lost by a duck hunter and hit on the Highway, nope old injury - we guessed then she was dumped since she couldn't hunt very well.   Found her a good nonhunting home. 

There are very few situations where I'd kill someone's dog.  Hope they catch this sumbitch and neuter him.
