Dog killed, owner charged with shooting hunter

[RamboLiberal]

A Fayette County man allegedly shot a coyote hunter in the leg Sunday in Georges after the hunter shot and killed his dog, state police said.

George Bodnovich, 42, of Brownsville was charged with aggravated assault, simple assault and recklessly endangering another person.

Police said Bodnovich allegedly shot Jonathan Harmon, 26, of Clarksville, Washington County, in the right leg after an argument over the death of one of Bodnovich's dogs, Seneca, Sunday afternoon.

Harmon, who was coyote hunting on an all-terrain vehicle, shot and killed Seneca around 4 p.m. because he mistook the dog for a coyote, police said. The dog was wearing an orange neoprene-type vest so that hunters did not mistake him for a wild animal.

I'd be tempted to shoot the fool myself if he killed my dog. No sympathy here for the hunter. It's not even like coyotes are a huge problem here. Yeah, coyotes go around wearing orange vests!
