[QUOTE="cattle_gal, post: 45199, member: 643"] A rifle would do very fine if you are a marksman. And if you have time to wait them out until there next journey to your field. Shoot at them with out hitting/killing them will make them very skiddish and chances are they won't be an easy of a target for you the next time. To many times someone decides they want to shot a predator and take a shot and miss, well the predator will be very sly from then on out. I don't know how close you are to Penn, but there are many trappers and a trappers association in the state. Perhaps there is also a trappers association in NY which you can contact and they can recommend a trapper to come and put up snares or other traps in a safe place. On the other spectrum if your are close to the Adirondack Park you could be dealing with a wolf. However if you have not heard of any other attacks this might not be the case. Have you seen foot tracks. Drag marks, ect. Poison is a touchy subject. If Fido goes home and gets sick and dies and the owner does an autopsy they are going to go to every farm/ranch and look for chemicals. Pesticides and herbicides. And in an area that is well populated not a good choice. And if it's a darn wolf, you'll be in jail for a long time. That's considered worse than killing 10 people. For those of us that live 80 miles from no where, well there are many choices on how to deal with predators. [/QUOTE]
