  Not condoning this but who in the actual fuck let’s their dog run free during deer season ?? In a lot of states if a dog is chasing deer it’s legal to kill them. So the owner here is not necessarily the victim but maybe the asshole.

  Not a requirement. There are no training, competence, intelligence or responsibility requirements no own and operate a gun in this country >
  
  This was a hunter. To get a hunting license in my state requires 12 hours of classroom instruction, passing a written test and demonstrating the ability to safely handle and shoot a gun at a range.
  The problem is that no training is required before purchasing a firearm. >
  
  Hunter safety is required in PA but there's no handling of firearms during the course. >
  
  Weirdly written article.
  The hunter should be shunned by the community. >
  
  What if I mistake the hunter for an enraged gorilla and shoot him in self defense? >
  
  Insane that Someone mistakes a dog for a coyote. LAZY damn hunters. If can’t confidently ID - don’t shoot. Jesus. >
  
  
  mistakes a dog for a deer
  
  Article said he mistook him for a coyote >
  
  Fixed it - was frustrated and posted in haste lol >
  
  mistaking a dog for a coyote isn't nearly as crazy as mistaking one for a deer, though, so your outrage doesn't make any sense
  missing the harness and collar, though, is pretty outrageous

  It was an Alaskan Malamute. I’m not saying they couldn’t mistake it for a coyote but I’m skeptical. The dog looks like a domestic dog to me, if anything I’d mistake it for a husky. 
  Pic of the dog >
  
  Says a malamute mix and now that ive seen the picture, that actually looks MORE like a coyote than i was expecting. Not sure of its size, but the only thing that might clearly differentiate it as a domestic dog is its wider snout. Thats not too far off though, IMO. and coyotes can be light grey in color too.
  I still dont disagree with you that he shouldnt have pulled the trigger unless he was certain. >
  
  I gotta agree with you. I clicked on the picture fully ready to outright slam the hunter but I could see how a mixup could happen  if someone didn’t pay careful attention. Odds are the hunter got trigger happy and was excited to get a possible trophy. Still he should have checked until he was absolutely sure. Unfortunately, this isn’t an uncommon occurrence with these type of breeds.
