I have a dog, I empathize with the owners, I really do.

However.

You're in an area where you know people are hunting. With a dog that looks like that. Not on a leash. No orange vest on it. Not even a bell, maybe?

Coyote and huskies are roughly the same height. Add in a thick winter coat and I could see how someone might mistake one for the other if the coloration is the same

Yep, still do. But they don't trot out a live coyote for size comparisons.

What did that harness look like at 75+ yards in shaded woods?

Edit: my point there is that "blaze orange" is a specific color for a reason. I have a hat I ordered online that was supposed to be for hunting, but clearly was made the wrong shade. It does not stand out at a distance the same way the correct color does.

yep. still remember my training course and the story of the dude who got shot in the bushes by the dumbass turkey hunter who saw a silhouette, heard movement, and decided to shoot.

It was wearing a harness! Not to mention, if you’re going to be shooting at something, you should be damn sure you know what it is.

This is the most overlooked point ITT.

I had my dog on a trail, leashed, wearing a harness and orange vest and had an complete dipshit tell me he thought she was a bear.

If you're going to hunt, you need to be certain of what you're shooting at, which unfortunately it seems like there are far too many morons who can't tell what a dog is.
