so much for bay and shoot.

Maybe I am the only one who see's this story for what it is isn't... But I didn't get the feel that the fella was in fear for his life due to the weather going to make him freeze to death. I also know he didn't loose the dog to not having a tracking system on him, and not knowing where he went. He knew exactly where the dog was and knew exactly what it was doing and left him. He even said in his words the boar "mangled" the pup a couple times, knew they were bayed on the bank of some water and going to be more than average cold. He knew the situation he left the dog in. To me it is pretty upsetting to see him leave the dog, to what he thought was going to be the dogs death, and go home and essentially brag on the internet that he had done it. I get that situations pop up that we are unsure about and bad things happen. But this winter storm that has been eating up the US is not a freak storm that popped up, it has been all over the news (if you live in the hills and do not have T.V. then again I apologize, no ill intentions meant).

Now there does no good in ragging on this fella. The only point I would like to get across to him IS $hit happens, and you HAVE to be prepared for anything!!! I leave my truck at 9 in the AM to run dogs... I take a flashlight. Will I need it? Probably not, but dogs keep rolling and moving further away and I might (just an example). You have to be prepared for anything to happen. Especially with the sounds of that dog your running!!! Sounds like a darn good dog you and I would be proud to feed!!!

Again if you were on the edge of loosing your life due to circumstances you had no control over, then piss on the dog your life is more important!!!
