I don't like shooting dogs and I will give them the benefit of the doubt if it looks like they are just passing through and have a collar on them. In the last six months I've had three nice sized calves die in weird ways. I think I posted about these. One was missing its tail and another had injuries to its hind quarter. This pack of pitbulls are most likely someone's hog dogs and they are out just doing what they are taught to do. They are somewhat pitiful creatures but that's par for the course cause some of these hog hunters view their dogs as expendible. I know there are exceptions but these aren't.
Had a stranger come easing by yesterday on a fourwheeler going real slow like he was looking for something. Thought for a minute I should have shovelled rather than sat and sipped but he never saw the buzzard buffet I left the birds. About an hour after he was gone I dropped the second one. Just four more to go and I'll be dog-free.
