10-4 me too. But i hunt behind a lab.
The only accidental dog Shiitin' situation that worries me here is for the guys who own huskies and the like that can be mistaken for wolves.
But to awnser your question as for my experiance you dont need to worry about someone shooting your pooch. Like i say unless they look like a wolf and range far enough from you that someone may not put it togeather.
Well # 1...I hope you don't own a dog cuz you don't deserve the unquestioning loyalty they would give you and #2...better learn to read then maybe you can show me where I said I was going to shoot anyone I said I was coming for them I'ts your mind that put me in a kill mode. Get it straight if you want to try and disturb sh*t.
"BORN TO HUNT"
Foxton's Cuervo Gold "KEELA" Oct. 2004-June 2017. Always in my blind and my heart.

Woha, I didn't means to stir up any sentimental feelings.
To me, the issue is no different than some of those townships where the leash laws are on the records, but suggesting such bylaws to be enforced would be rocking the boat and gets the locals all riled up. So I was seeing if certain weeks are better, or people actually has some commonsense to permit these seasons to overlap when it come to canine companions.
If my dog got shot because I didn't adhere to the local customs, then that's understandable. The responsibility is on ME to keep MY dog safe; like with some towns I've been to, there's an unspoken standard that dogs are not permitted on other people's private property and could be shot without a warning. However if someone is dumb enough to shoot my dog without me being aware of the traditions of the area, or falsely believed he was running deer, then I would be royally ticked.
Haven't happened to me yet, since usually everyone's aware of my dog, but there are family members who share these stories.
Thanks. I don't know anyone who is stupid enough to shoot a dog with a radio or GPS collar either, but it's safer to ask.
I feel sorry for people who own West and East Siberian Laikas then. They are basically hunting strains of huskies, bred for good nose instead of weight-bearing endurance. I am not aware of any in Canada, but I know a few in the States.
Yes, that's why I asked. Usually bark-pointers range, outside of the human voice, about 500 yards or so away from their owners, then bark up a storm once they locate a game for people to find them. So to someone unaware of these type of working dogs, they would be running at large and harassing wildlife. Of course, if I was running hounds and lurchers, I doubt there would be a problem; however when one have a spitz-type that looks like a miniature Elkhound or a mutant yote, it's another story altogether.
Looks like an orange vest is in order; or a tracking collar.

I would get your pooch a vest, to be safe.
I dont think people are dog shooters, I think people are wolf shooters. People talk tough about shooting dogs running deer etc. but i have never heard of it happening. But if that dog is in the bush and looks like a wolf an accident might happen.
All would be avoided if yo got a vest for it.
It does sound like an interesting way to hunt birds,,,, Totally not what i have been around. Pointers, Flushers and retrievers.
EDIT: oh ya,,, dog shootin' threads get everyone's hackles up fast!
