According to HIS post they were actually both laying down "RIGHT NEXT TO MY PACK" (which he had left while picking up sheds). Exactly what an abandoned or lost dog would do if some other moron had dumped them out in the country. They were on private property, not miles into the National Forest, they were NOT chasing game, they were NOT being aggressive. Just two old dogs with worn down teeth laying there peacefully next to a potentially comforting human item waiting for them to return and he blasted them. Read his threads, he acts like an idiot then posts it on the internet. Certainly not doing any of us any favors.
P.S. "if it has eyes it dies", really?
