So they shot the dog by accident and buried the evidence.

If they only knew how much heartache a missing dog brings to an owner.

I had a dog stolen . He would be 18 now so long dead but still .....

I highly doubt it was an accident.

It sure wasn't the owner, more than likely a neighbouring camp who are ticked off or an anti dog camp.

Shouldn't be too hard to find out who was hunting in the area and put the heat on them until someone talks.

Then go after them with the fullest extent of the law.

Sharon, I'm not convinced that they shot the dog by accident.
Why shoot it in the head?
Hopefully the shooters fingerprints are on that collar.
Odd that the shooter did not remove and dispose of that gps tracking collar.

Maybe it looked like a coyote to them.

isn't AP closed to hunting..?

A similar story from a friend in Germany just a few days ago. A dog went missing while hunting. The GPS signal went dead. Finally they located the dead dog sans the GPS collar shot and covered by some brush.
Perhaps a case of mistaken identity (target).

I know nothing about hunting with dogs.
In the field, do your hunting dogs wear blaze orange collars?
I know of the pretty setters, labs and the beagles. I see your avatars, do not know the name of those breeds but they don't look anything like a coyote to me.
Is there a breed of hunting dog that could, reasonably, be mistaken for a yote?

Only by a moron !!

I don't hunt with my lab but he wears blaze orange from the opening of moose until ice up.

Dog may have been shot outside the park and buried within it.

Mine wear orange collars.
If I read correctly , one of the reasons some areas have been closed to coyote hunting is that people mistake them for a wolf and have shot wolves. Obviously mistakes are made.

Even so, the person should have had the integrity to try to contact the owner and be a man/woman.

I am not defending the person but it could be easy to think it was a coyote. Twice of have seen blonde yotes and other than their ears they looked just like my goldens. Even my hubby thought it was one of our dogs eating apples under the apple tree. Last year I saw a yote that was black/tan. It looked just like a german shepard until it got up close. I didn't shoot at first because I thought it was the neighbours dog and then it was to late.
