I hope he didn't use an Excalibur. This is really disturbing.

Unbelievable!!!

Utterly disgusting! Even though I ran my dogs on my own properties, I am constantly on guard for idiots who may take a shot at them. I should get flo orange vests but I’m unsure that it would help when you have people brainless enough to shoot a German Shepherd by mistake. If it were ever to happen to one of mine, I’m pretty sure I’d need a lawyer. :evil:

I just can't see it being mistaken identity. Not during daylight hours in bow range. Lifetime hunting ban. He's no hunter.

I am by no means a "dog person". But that's just some stupid and reckless shooting.

Kind of related to what we tell anyone hunting with us...even if we don't care what deer you shoot, you need to be able to tell EXACTLY what gender/age class of deer you are shooting at. Reason being, if you can identify it as a doe vs doe fawn vs button buck vs buck....then it's guaranteed to be a deer. If you are shooting at something just pretty sure it is a deer, but can't say exactly what gender/age class it is, you could be mistaking it for something that isn't a deer.

2?!

who in their right mind would shoot 2 German shepherds and then bring the hides to a taxidermist? Shot on the same day? at approx the same time? Imagine what the 2nd one was doing when it was shot. Nothing coyote'ish is my guess.

Not a hunter.

I'm thinking that the dog's owner needs a little "alone time" with this idiot!! :twisted: :twisted:

And Boo, I'm with you, I'd need an attorney. A good one!!

I'm not ready to start melting tar and looking for feathers.

I really like dogs. My family raised German Shepherds. They come in all colors from entirely white to entirely black, as well as with every color and mixture and blend that's visible to the human eye. Some even look like Rin Tin Tin, or the Littlest Hobo, or even the standard black and tan everybody expects. Before I'd start melting tar, I'd want to know EXACTLY what those two looked like when they were shot.

Next, let's think about what is meant by "coyote". They range all over North America. Is a Texas coyote the same as a Connecticut coyote? I don't know. A few years ago a woman was killed by coyotes in Nova Scotia, and it was concluded that they were "different". As I recall, they were bigger, and certainly unafraid of humans. Coloration details I don't recall. Do they range between Nova Scotia and Connecticut? I don't know.

Where I live, acreage owners living outside of town have to be careful for their outdoor pets. If you keep Rover tied up in the back yard so he can't get the chance to pee on the neighbor's step, better bring him inside at night. Otherwise the wolves will leave you a few tufts of fur and the collar and chain for a keepsake.

Normally, it would be much easier to mistake a timber wolf for a German Shepherd. They both have variations of colors and sizes that can spill over back and forth. Normally, a coyote should be easy to distinguish. But what do coyotes look like where he was hunting?

It would also be helpful to know details of the events that lead up to the shootings.

Skinning out a pelt takes a fair bit of effort, and there's no market for dog pelts. So, I'm not ready yet to consider that the dogs were skinned to be proof of even more nefarious intentions.

I'm sorry for the family who lost their pets. Depending on what other information is forthcoming, I just MIGHT be willing to say to the shooter " You poor, dumb, bas**rd."

I agree, I think there's an awful lot more going on that we are not privy too.

Sad story either way.

These are them, maybe with a rifle i could buy the bs, but for a bow you would see the collars that they appear to wear. Ive shot some yotes but none looked like this and the guy shot both. Even if maybe he was PO'd at these two for running deer or escaping yet again it takes a special type to shoot a persons pet.

tar & feathers.

He was trespassing. He forged a document giving him permission to hunt on the land. He skinned the 2 GSDs so it’s kinda hard to miss the fact the the male had no testicles and the female was fixed but he still brought the hides to a taxidermist. Both of those medical procedures leave abundant evidence. Coyotes have a definite difference in physique, especially the tail and muzzle, and gait compared to a GSD.
We live in free societies so call it a mistake if you want but some mistakes are punished by law because of gross negligence especially when other laws are committed in combination.
