Washington County Creeks & Streams Info: Don't Get Shot!

[Ham]

I As I said previously, I admit the dog should not have gone up onto the property and it would ultimately have been my fault if she had been shot. .

. I don't agree. Some jackass with a gun shoots a young dog that is on "his" land without regard to any other aspect of the digs behavior is at fault. That guy is out of control and needs a visit from law enforcement.

I think Al and FF lost focus of this discussion. Hope you both do not run into a fellow like this with or without a dog. A mistake shouldn't always involve shooting or killing, unless extremely warranted.

You might start a really ugly situation because of your intolerance.

And lose any respect you had by making comments like that.

I've seen good times go bad cause someone had to bring their dog to the creek or river.

I am having a hard time understanding why someone would take their new, untrained dog to a creek fishing with them. I wouldn't want the dog trouncing through the water scaring off the fish. Kind of counter productive if you ask me. It also wouldn't allow for much time fishing if you are tending after your dog the whole time.

It was more of an opportunity to work with the dog really. And she's not completely untrained, I've been working with her for almost 6 months. I had been painting my house all day and just wanted to take a little trip, figured I'd take the pole with me. I have a boat and normally go to the lake (with my dog, every time). Guess I'll just stick to the lake.

My buddy takes his dog on every float that we go on and it's never been trained and also never been a problem. I don't understand why it's anyone's business if you take your dog or not as long as it's not a nuisance.

People are forgetting that the dipshit with the gun is the issue.

Where did all the dog hate come from?

[Guest]

Lets stop all the dog hating & finger pointing.

The gun toting idiot is negligent, lets not lose sight of that.

People take dogs down to the creek all the time.

I've had a dog try to attack me on clear creek, but i didnt shoot it. Instead, I redirected it with a Falcon Lowrider. End of story.

There are ways of dealing with this issue other than discharging a firearm.
