[QUOTE="Bez>, post: 360184, member: 6007"] Back end eaten out - maybe some bite marks on the neck. One on the neck while the others had fun. They pulled it down from behind and started eating under the tail - animal was likely still alive as they started enjoying their meal. Dogs involved? Could have been anything from a cockapoo to a mastiff - more likely a gang of them. Even the toy breeds will join in the fun. Shot a few dogs in my day - you remember this! SHUT UP, SHUT THE HE!! UP!!!! Do what you need to do and "keep yer trap shut" - right wrong or indifferent you will be the bad guy if it gets out. Pack is quiet - often completely so - you would never hear them - even by the house. Your dumb, sick calf did not run - so it was not chased. Healthy calf runs and the dogs chase - start eating under the tail and the calf dies while the dogs are enjoying their meal. No different than a pack of wolves killing a moose. Animal is seldom dead before the meal starts. Dogs will travel a long ways in a pack - 3-4 miles is nothing and more is common. They like to work at night because that is when Pookie gets let out for his evening stroll. Do what you got to do - patrol the odd night for a few minutes - you might be surprised what you see. Remember - just because you see a dog out for a walk does not mean it is a bad dog - they do not know what a fence is. You might want to shoo him away - but you see a pack - I guarandamntee you that you got problems. Bez> [/QUOTE]
