Feral dog hunting... memories from my youth

[788Ham]

Several years ago a guy that raised Shetland ponies called my Pop and ask if he'd come help him, "Oh, and bring that old .300 Sav. with you." Seems as though a pack of 15 - 20 dogs had chased and ham strung 4 of his pregnant mares, then partially ate one of them. I think it was over a 3 week end period, they shot all but 3 of the dogs, found out it was neighbors dogs living around the ranchers place.

feral dog packs

Are very dangerous,even more so than black bears,and coyotes who pack up have killed humans,in detroit large packs of dogs have been seen roaming the abandoned factorys and torn down neighborhoods,and have attacked many people. arm up america, defend yourself ,cause nobody else will do as good a job.

Dogs are much more apt to attack humans than coyotes or wolves. When I was a kid I had to help a neighbor shoot my own 2 pet dogs as they had killed some of my brothers sheep. I was the only one that the dogs would obey so we took them out in the pasture and the guy shot them. I was old enough to understand it had to be done. I was about 10. I've shot a few but never liked it. Cats can be tough to kill. My older brothers had to thin them out once in awhile.
