Can't we all just get along?
you would kill your dog because he took a deer? you are terrible.
You joined today to ask us this?
A border collie killing deer?
Uh huh.
Yes worry about it. Your dog is likely to end up getting shot by an angry hunter for running deer. During deer season keep your dog under your control at all times.
I don’t hunt so maybe some deer hunters will chime in and correct any misconceptions.
oh deer!
There is no cure for dogs that kill other animals.
I am sure the State Game Wardens would know what to do.
Call them.
You could try a pat on the head along with a hearty “Good boy!”. Then quietly take the carcass and cut it up for steaks, chops and dog food.
You either have 1 very fast dog, or that deer was injured or sick, imo. When I was a kid, I used to watch from the loft of our barn as our collie dog chases deer , and he never even managed to get close to one. I’d say it was the same deer the second time, and he had some kind of problem that would have made him fall victim to any of several predators. In short, you’ll never cure the dog of wanting to kill deer. But the deer will cure the problem by not being slow enough for him to catch, usually.
IBTZ.
There are too many deer and not enough deer hunters... and the wolves are all gone... and too bad there aren’t more dogs like yours.
Stop baking cakes.
Maybe contain your dog? If you let him run wild, he will become wild. He certainly should not be put down for being a normal dog.
You may need that dog when the Obamans take over. They might outlaw meat because of cow flatulence causing global warming.
That is one amazing dog.
Buy a really big freezer from Sam’s Club. Then, you should bring a gun, your hunting licence, and a hot cup of coffee and just follow your dog one day. When he leads you to a deer, take the shot and give your dog a doggie treat. Then take the deer to your local butcher. Put all 50 pounds of meat (in the form of sausage, steaks, and ground) in the freezer and be glad you don’t have to buy your meet from the store. Then give your dog another doggie treat.
When you aren’t hunting, put your dog on a leash or build a fence.
Can I borrow him?
Get a fake target deer (you can find them for archery practice) and put a shock collar on your dog. Dog gets near the deer zap him. After a bit he won’t go near the deer.
Key there of course if he falls for the fake deer.
Just an idea.
