Dadgum Dogs ( NOW IM PISSED!! )

[Thumper Dunker]

Where I do most of my calling if a dog comes in I been told to take them out. Same for feral cats.

I love dogs but not strays running deer and turkey, I see that and they are done, put more than I can recall on the ground.

Interesting isn't it.  

To shoot a deer, an elk, a moose you buy a license,  Shooting a dog  or cat is a felony.  

Quail, pheasant, geese ducks, skwerls, rabbits etc, buy a license,  mosquitos don't bother, just swat.  A raccoon in the attic, just call someone to kill it.    

We drain marshes to kill off and " control" flies and skeeters, we poison coyotes and kill everything else that eats the bait or the carcass, we poison dandelions ( and ourselves), spray for all manner of bugs that hurt a farmers crop, but shoot a feral dog and its a felony.

What a world......

Well I think you answered your own question partner. Dog packs can be especially dangerous as they often have no fear of humans like other canines. I run across dogs sometimes on public land here and just chalk it up to well the must have gotten loose. However, a group or single dog that is being aggressive is a whole different story. Lol you guys think dogs are bad. I took a doe on some public land this year that had about 8 cows loose! Including two bulls + a couple calves. I think you boys with farms know that those critters can be really dangerous. Anyway I hope you get it squared away. Let us know what happens.

Who wants to shoot someone's dog? Not me, BUT they're not supposed to be running free in the woods. A dog owners responsibility is to see that that doesn't happen. If they don't care, why should I?
A RCMP friend told me to use the 3 S approach.
Shoot - Shovel - Shut up.
Haven't had to, but would.

A rubber blunt will break bones and other damage. I can't see doing that to any animal. Use a broad head, gun, or just leave it alone.

I only came close once with a couple of wild dogs running loose that spotted me and made a beeline charge right for me like their tails were on fire. I like dogs and wouldn't shoot one unless it was being aggressive toward me or unless it was running deer off my own property. I was bird hunting and had a shotgun. Put a shot into the ground in front of them and they stopped short of me. Of course that only left me with one barrel for two large dogs. Fortunately for all of us they paused for a second and then took off just as fast in the opposite direction. I really would have hated to shoot one..or both..but neither will I allow a dog to attack me in the woods or anywhere else for that matt
