Dog killed

[bherndon]

My friends dog was shot and killed on Sunday. My friend was hunting in his club when his dog and another guys dog chased a hog onto another club. They were tracking their dogs when they heard a shot. One dog stopped and another was loaded into a truck. They went around to a county road and found the guy that shot his dog. The law was called because my friend challenged the guy and had his pistol with him. The guy that shot his dog filled charges and the law didn't do anything to the guy that killed his dog. The guy also said that he was going to shoot all the dogs that came onto that lease. My friend had to hire a lawyer. I don't think this is anyway near right. I want everyone that hunts dogs anywhere in the area of Vidor Texas to be aware of the guy and his wife Aarron and Tammy Taylor. They are dog killers. If you are a dog man this needs to get across the country!!!!!

That's horrible to lose a dog that way. That being said as hard as it may be your friend should have never challenged him and let the law handle it as it is a felony to shoot a working dog with a collar on no matter where the dog was. Get a lawyer and fight it as hard as he can and bring hell on the man that shot the dog legally.

buster enjoyed your call last night ......this kind  of thing has to be delt with ...... further north of there I believe it was a taylor  that we had  some words with  one  day while hunting ......  I sure hope your friend  gets  his  dog paid for ...reguardless of  anything he  may have  done it didn't  give anyone the right to kill his  dog ...also  if the  person said he was  going to kill any dogs  he see's that's kind of an admission of guilt  and  up to the judge ....... he would suffer  one  way or another .......also the club he is in should kick him out ......

That's terrible would have been hard not to spit beach nut in that dudes eye I bet when its all said and done he wishes he would have never done that. I understand some don't like dogs crossing over on their land but they have to understand that's how we choose to hunt and its a tradition that should never be allowed to be forgotten those dogs never done anything to that guy if he had that much issue with the dogs he should have spoke with the owner and maybe an agreement could have been reached. I don't run my dogs during deer season unless I have full permission to do so from all the clubs my dogs may run on I feel like me doing that show them guys respect so when the seasons over I want my respect and they leave me alone.

hope your friend comes out of this ok. just be glad you arent in california. totally legal to kill any dog harming, threatening etc  livestock or wild animals. and i was convicted years back for hunting trespass etc and the judge said as soon as one dog crossed a property line we were guilty as the dog was acting as our agent. just like if hog hunting here and a dog trashed and treed a bear. warden can actually shoot the dog and then arrest you for runnin bears. you guys need to join clubs etc or you will join our club sadly.

They were next to Ten Mile/Gum Slough Clubs, from what I gathered after speaking to Kyle last night. the dog was shot off Gist Rd side... Self served justice is the only thing that will ever be remotely close to satisfaction... I'd dang sure hate to be put in that position.

Is it still deer season? Has turkey season started in Texas allready? In Alabama, we are between seasons, i mean, there is no justification for killin someones dog, but dang, it aint even a season where a dog can mess up someone else's hunt! Thats just low down sorry ,, i hope you get yours, and I hope that bum gets what he deserves

Sure ne a shame if the wind destroyed their deerstands and an electrical short burned their camp down.

Yep, it would be one long AND rough deer season for anyone who did that to me or my buddies.

I love reading all the posts from the bada**es on here... If everyone on here did what they say they would do if it happened to them there wouldn't be anyone on the board any more cause everyone would be in jail.
To start with, his buddy probably wouldn't be in the situation he is in if he didn't have the firearm on him. You know firearms make people invincible, kinda like the liquid courage... I agree that the other guy shouldn't have shot his dog but at the end of the day it is a dog and there is no need to end up in a worse situation because of a dog. The law has remedies in place to take care of issues like this, you just have to be willing to get them involved BEFORE you do something stupid because once you have done something, such as challenge another person with a firearm, you have taken the focus off of the dog and put it onto what you have done. If it comes down to a dog's life and an assault on a human the human's rights and well being should always take precedence over any animal's life regardless of species. I have yet to have one of my dogs shot or even threatened to be shot if they get on someone else's property. I like to talk to as many people around the places I hunt before I ever turn a dog loose. I also ask the landowner whose place I am hunting on to contact the neighbors that he can and let them know what is going on so if I show up on their propert or at their front door asking to get my dogs they are prepared and so far it has worked out for me. I understand that not all people are ok with dogs and/or people on their property and that is where the GW comes into play. Develop a good relationship with the local GWs and they will help out and prevent situations like these. If this becomes a pattern then the GW may start to question things though so you have to do your best to keep dogs out of places they shouldn't be. That's just my opinion on the situation and what works for me. Do what y'all want to but in my opinion a PUBLIC forum isn't any place to say what you would if this happens to you because if/when it does and you retaliate then you have just put evidence against you out there for everyone to see including law enforcement. Trust me, you never know who is law enforcement and who isn't... just saying

Well TMatt there's 3 hunting clubs that join. Ten Mile, Gum Slough and South Jasper all of which are full of dog hunters and have been for the last 25+ years. Then the next club over is Little Prarie I believe which kinda just got started. So they get a hog jumped he rolls into little prarie and the dogs come trailing across the pipeline and he blast her. His reasoning was that they don't allow dog hunting in their club also the shooter tried to take another dog after he shot 1 so this hunting club hero is a dog thief and a dog killer the 2 most lowdown disgracful names that a man could be labeled .... As far as the man that got the dog shot he needs no courage from any iron he may carry and would give most men in their prime a good run for their money he let his temper get the better of him in a situation any man with pride would've been tested in.. It's sheer principle to me... Kill my dog you will have to answer for it regardless of the situation. I've personally never been put in that predicament but given I was hopefully my raising and the man upstairs would let me make the right decision rather than what I would want to do.

I completely understand that dogs get on places where they aren't supposed to be and there is no way to stop that. My issue is the way your buddy handled himself and then don't understand why it went down the way it did. My thing is this... everyone gets on here talking about what they would do and how they would handle it when they've never been in that situation. On top of that the things that they are saying aren't the right things to do. There are laws in place for a reason and this situation would have been totally different if your buddy would have handled it differently. In all honesty if it would have been handled differently y'all be on here talking about that SOB getting arrested and charged with a felony for shooting your buddy's dog. As far as not needing courage from the "iron" he is carrying... my question is this, why did it come into play if he didn't feel he needed it? Obviously there was something in his mind that made him feel the need to resort to that. If it was solely anger that caused the weapon to become involved it would have probably ended up differently and we would quite possibly be talking about lives being lost. So obviously he felt the need for a larger form of intimidation than just his mere presence. I don't know your buddy and I am not trying to say or insinuate anything about him so don't take it that way, I am just speaking from my experiences. I wore a gun and the only time mine was removed from its holster is when there was some sort of doubt in my mind about the situation we were going into and the feeling that it was going to take more than my presence to get the situation under control or end the situation all together, so I know about that feeling you get that makes you feel the need to use or display your weapon.
