Wow, that really sucks chris. I'll keep my eyes and ears open. That is a true piece of trash to steal a dog off the tree like that, or at all for that matter.

yeah we got in and seen tracker hanging there our hearts just bout stoped he has hunted that dog with well over 20 diffrent people and if your dog gets out therer and teh wrong person hears about it they will do anything to get it i just hope who ever has him and they may be on here just to let ya know you best bring him back cause if you dont and we find them lets just say our old barn will be busy out back that day it take a poor sorry SOB to steal a other mans dog

WE found him DEAD he was over in a drain with out his shocker we have his tracking collar he had a bullet to the head he was my buddys best rig dog i hope we can catch the @$$hole that did this

Now that is f**king b*ll$h!t!!!
Hope you catch him.

thats bad i hope you find how did that anybody that would shoot anther mans hound cant call them selfs a houndsmen

Im sorry to hear about your hunting partners lose, If I where you I'd take a good look at the people you hunt around . Jealousy among hondsmen can be a terrible thing. A guide I know in northern Idaho had a man want to buy his best dog when he told him he wasnt for sale the man got furrious and made some comments about hed regreat not sellin him, ne next week the dog was poisoned in the outfitters kennel. unfortunately he never good prove the man did it. I hope you guys find out who did it and can provide enough evedince to prosicute.

That's awful. I hope you figure out who the SOB is that did that to you and your friend

Knew a guy once with really good hounds that would buy up other hunters best hounds then destroy them to cut back on the "competion" in the area. Sorry about yours, hope you find out more about what happened.

That's just lousy! I can't stand a dog thief and a dog murderer well...I won't say what I'd do if I found them but I think everyone has some pretty good ideas of how it should be handled. Any chance of tracking whoever did it? Any sign around the area of if they were on foot or had a vehicle? Our dogs are purposely kept not too friendly because of this kind of thing. We don't have other hunters around to hunt them with anyway so anyone putting hands on them is up to no good. It is safer for them to be a little shy of strangers around here.

The last person hanged in illinois was not very far from here.
The anti horse thief society got him.

My Uncle had a cow shot. He never said a word. 5 or 6 years later, a neighbor asked him if he ever found out who did it. The fellow moved away very soon.

Sorry for your loss.

Sorry to hear about your tragedy! Hope you find the SOB that did this!!

If it was another houndsmen, they'll flap their gums. Never met a houndsmen who could keep their mouth shut for long

we are waiting for that bear killer were wauting

Report it to the police and the local SPCA (they are useful for things like that). Offer a small reward for info leading to an arrest. Someone will shoot their mouth off. I'd go to the local newspaper or tv station with that story. No one likes someone who would shoot a dog, even people who don't hunt--just love dogs. Someone will tattle on them.
