^^^This. Good way to lose a dog or end up with large vet bill.
We live in rural area and always visually check the yard before dog gets let out.

Just looked at the satellite image of 27000 Lupine....
Those houses are on small lots, the size of city lots. He has no business even firing rubber bullets.
I wish he would get more charges... having trash out at dark should be considered baiting/feeding the bears and the D.O.W. should ticket him too.
I guess if he is convicted of a felony, he will lose his bang sticks?
I'm not sure about the hunting out of season charge but he deserves the other one for being a moron.
According to the media, it sounds the Colorado Parks and Wildlife gave him the rubber buckshot rounds.
End of that program in 5, 4, 3, 2, 1....
Probably some out of state dipshit hipster that has NO idea that bears frequent the area and are part of living in Evergreen. I see and meet these dickheads every week with my business.
They are moving to the area in hoards and have NO clue what Colorado is all about. Except the legal weed. I am praying that the winter months drive some of these clowns back to their home states.
Unfortunate mistakes on his part. I don't wish to see the guy get a felony though. Sounds like he was trying to do the right thing by getting the Bears out of there but maybe made a mistake on rounds in his gun or feared for his dog. Yes he screwed up but a felony is a bit much.
Given the circumstances, No. He was trying to get the animals out of his trash. It's not like he was feeding them his garbage to poach them. If the DOW issued him rubber bullets it has probably been a problem in the past, maybe they failed at getting the Bears out of the area. Part of the mountain life obviously but I wouldn't wish to see someone lose their rights due to trying to do the right thing. Maybe he intentionally killed the Bears, if so I understand, but to kill 2 with 1 shot and have it go through a window? That's just impressive itf it was on purpose.
