Husband is an avid hunter so I'm not against hunting but this fall has been extremely irritating at our new home which abuts an, apparantly, prime hunting piece. Our neighbors dog which is a small 45lb huskie was shot clean through with a slug by an irresponsible hunter. She lived, thankfully. The hunters response when questioned about shooting a dog, "yes, its out there" and points to the woods. "But I had a doe permit!" was one of the last things he said..... Shot the dog and knew it and then left it to die.

So there are those hunters that are responsible, and there are definately those that aren't.
