Defended myself with a shotgun today...UPDATE!!!
Today I was in a situation where my life was threatened by two problem pit bulls in the neighborhood. These dogs have killed numerous animals, attacked other animals and attacked people. I fired six shots at the dogs at distances of 10 to 20 feet before they finally stopped charging me and turned around and left. I searched the yard for the platic wads, but only found two of the six. One wad and shot hit a dogwood tree. The other wad I found had approximately 30 dog hairs on it. I could not find the other four wads anywhere. I searched all over my yard, the street, and the neighbor's yards for two hours. Is it possible that at a close distance the wads are actually stuck in the dogs? Has anyone ever shot a deer, duck, or turkey at a very close distance and found the wad in the animal?
