The Great Weiner Dog Massacre Of 08.

[fly2fish]

I have been shot with rock salt when I was a kid and it did not teach us a lesson. Back in my hometown there was an old man that everyone called Doodie Balls, at first we would see him in his old truck and ride up on our bikes and yell D...B.... and take off and he would chase us in his truck. One day we found out where he lived and some of the braver ones in our group decided to run up and knock on the door and yell you know what and run and jump on our bikes and take off. Well that is when we learned he had a shotgun and began shooting at us. We thought we had had it until we realized it was rock salt and only stung when hit at a distance. So then it was game on for sure. He started carrying it in his truck and one day I guess he saw us riding up and had it ready because has soon as we passed his truck and no sooner yelled DB he started firing, let me tell you when you get penetrated by piece of rock salt it not only stings it burns to, talk about pouring salt on the wound. Did it stop us, no, but it did make us more cautious and we kept a further distance, but it was still a game for us and probably him too.

I've never shot a dog but I wish someone would shoot my neighbor's pitbull. Are any of you doggy-assassins-for-hire?

I'll guarantee you not all kids are kept out of trouble or taught right from wrong, they just aren't shot.

Woah, guess I was wrong!!

The MP5 was property of the Police Dept his son in law worked for, he brought it home to show it off. The rub came when I called his boss, an old HS friend of mine and told him to sit down and have a little talk with him. I asked his boss not to get him in trouble, just inform him a little better about guns. Last thing I wanted was another out of work deadbeat like his father in law on the other side of me. He was a city kid, his first gun was his issue weapon and did not know any better. Dog owner had even less knowledge of firearms, ballistics, bullet travel. Like I said, his thoughts on the bullets were that they were not traveling past his property line.

Main thing is, responsible pet owners take care of their pets. I felt bad for his grandkids coming home to see a pet dead. I was afraid they would go into the house before Grandparents came home and I was going intercept them if they beat them home. The son in law is actually a decent guy and a pretty good cop now.

The other dog problem that we who live out in the country face is people dropping off their unwanted dogs (and cats), I guess figuring either that somebody will take them in or that they'll be able to fend for themselves. Cats really CAN fend for themselves, although they play havoc with birds and small mammals and get so wild that you seldom see them. But the dogs, of course, show up on our doorstep. Then you're faced with the choice of adopting them, which I don't want to do because I have wildlife attractions all around the house from food plots to corn feeders, etc. and I don't want a dog in the yard to chase off wildlife, or call what passes for the county animal control person, which means they might come out and take the dog and eventually kill it, or kill it yourself. We know all the neighbors and know who owns dogs and what the dogs look like, so if a strange dog shows up we know how it happened. I've killed several over the years, and it's not pleasant but necessary. I just wish people would take responsibility for dealing with unwanted pets, instead of expecting somebody else to do it.

I had a dog incident last week. This dog just shows up out of the blue and makes himself at home.

After spending the night there in the yard, he starts to get very aggressive with any dog in sight. He would stand up and try to get at our beagle in our arms, trying to get him in the house. By this time we had called the law, and the neighbors who had dogs attacked called.

They came and checked out the situation and called the dog catcher.

What ppl dont realize is that when dogs run loose and pack up, they are dangerous. We lived out in the country for 25 years and we had to protect us and neighbors quite often. You had to wear a sidearm to take a walk down the road.

Same situation at my buddy's farm, I don't go anywhere without my smith & wesson because of the pack that's been running there for the last year and a half. Every now and then you'll hear barking in places where there shouldn't be domestic dogs. They've killed at least one calf and approached us at one point during last years bow season. next time, they won't be so lucky.

You know it's not pleasent to shot a dog or even a cat. But why and the world don't people just put a buttlet in the animals head instead of dumping it off on someone else. I get a lot of dogs dropped off here for some reason. My horses pretty well take care of them, they stomp the dogs and the dogs either die or leave.

But cats are worse. When I first bought this place three years ago I had tons of quail and some would come right up in the yard a male and female pair would almost crow every morning. Then one day I saw the male dead and a cat eating the female the next day. Now there no quail to be heard.

I seldom shot a cat, not that I dont shoot at them. most are 100 yards and a .22 at lest puts them on the run.
