The hunters need to be charged. Hands down, end of conversation.

My heart breaks for the owner. However, I do have to say that during hunting season, Parker is NEVER away from me (i.e. I am actively spending time directly with him outside). If I'm not looking at him / working with him - he's in the house. Even if he is wandering on our own property. If I can't see him, I can't protect him.

We've had some real yahoo's up around my parents place. They're on the edge of a bird sanctuary that borders hydro fields. Lots of deer - lots of yahoo's without respect for anyone.
