Hey Pirate
FWIW it's against the law for dogs to chase deer in the great state of
Maine if a warden catches him you won't have him any more it's a put down
offence my brother lost a Husky that way quite a few years ago........ Of
course they could have changed the law but i doubt it


Pretty much the same in MN last I saw. Only for 6 months of the year,
but during those months anyone who sees a dog chasing a deer can shoot
the dog on the spot.

Dogs chasing game is a very, very big no-no just about everywhere, aside
from hunting lions. If they chase deer, they'll chase stock. And they'll
form packs, and before you know it cute little Henry will be a
bloody-toothed killing maniac, if he doesn't get run over first.

I don't know. Perhaps you're correct. Yesterday Henry and the two Bichon
Frise from down the road ran down and killed a fairly big doe. They dragged it
down our little mountain (actually it's a hill of about 3 - 4 acres) in the
back yard and began devouring it. Jo and I had to chase them away. Gawd what
a bloody mess. Rather than waste all that meat, we buried it in Jo's rose
garden -- it makes wonderful fertilizer. It took awhile to clean-up Henry.
Blood all over his beautiful golden fur. I think it was very traumatic for him
because he snarled in his sleep all night. This morning when we let "Killer"
out for his a.m. pee, there was a Shih-tzu, a Jack Russell Terrior, and another
Golden waiting for Henry (aka Killer) to lead them on to the "kill". How the
hell did the word get out that Henry was leading a pack of killer dogs?
Probably those bitch Bichon Frise.

The good news is that Henry appears to be a natural leader. Golden's don't
bark very much. He must be communicating with his pack by telepathy. We're
proud of him. I think I'll teach him to fish -- yaknow, like the grizzes do.
