North Carolina... My husband and son were hunting on OUR land, a club had let their hunting dogs out about a mile from our property, of course, they ran thru chasing the scent of a deer. My husband shot the tail off one dog and killed another, carried him to the river and thru him in, he had a tracking collar on, the other dog with the missing tail ran off. Wildlife officer investigated this and gave my husband 3 tickets. We want to be fair and all for this, my husband is sorry he did this, but we are afraid the "good ole boys" will jack the cost of everything up. They even stated that they were going to make an example of us for the whole area. Can someone advise how we can reduce/throw out the charges and just let us pay for the collar,dog, and a REASONABLE vet bill. By the way, the hunters did not take the dog to the vet until the next day. They were all so concerned with the shooting. We had over 40 men trying to get down to the river. sb
