Hound shot in Idaho - Reward Offered $4500.

[BuckNAze]

Guy who lost this dog I'm friends with am giving him a pup, good guy. Wanted to keep the pup myself and had other that wanted him but priorities changed. I hunt during elk hunting where I'm from but try to avoid elk hunters so I don't screw up their hunt. Most people around here are good about things. Couldn't offer more money towards the reward for Ian because I'm poor haha but hope the pup fills in for him losing the dog, beys I could do.

This is a sad thread. I can't belive that person shot the hound. I hope the puke tells all his buddies amd one comes forward. If I saw hounds in the woods I wiuld definitely not shoot them... but may follow them because I think hound hunting is awesome and want to see what they tree. Diubtful I could keep up tho. Bummer to read this thread.

man when i had my hounds i would have been devistated if someone hurt one of them let alone kill one, they were like my best buddies, my big male "BUCK" saved my butt from a big cat and a crazy ole bobcat. it would be like losing my best buddy, i hope they find that P.O.S. maybe put an arrow in him where the sun dont shine

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!

I understand what you're saying. But how many wolves and coyotes would you trust around your four year old daughter? I trust my dog more than I trust most humans. I know for a fact my dog would fight to his last breath to defend me and my family. Sure they're all dogs. But they are not the same. I really hope they catch this guy and make an example of him.

Just makes you sick to hear things like this myself I love my dogs and can not believe that anyone on our site would do something like this so must be a non-hunting wa person.

i still dont see how anyone could shoot a hound under any circumstance, if i came across a hound on the trail i would forget all about the quarry i pursue and follow the hound  i promise the idiot who shot the hound has never been on a hound hunt before, there aint no more of dedicated hunter than ahound, they will leterally run themselves into the ground, and are still just like a normal dog, i miss my hounds more than ever, and stories like these just really suck, i hope they find this clown, i am glad i dont know anyone who would do something like this, i would have no remorse for a buddy who would do something stupid like this
