I don't know where you are located but here in Vermont, If a Dog chases whitetail deer the dog can be shot, of course it's always best to find the dogs owner and seek other solutions first before shooting the dog. State law allows Vermont law enforcement officers to shoot dogs that are chasing deer, and the dog owner is subject to a $200 fine and loss of hunting and fishing licenses.
