[QUOTE="El_Putzo, post: 105616, member: 1017"] I guess I will just have to agree to disagree with all of you guys with the itchy trigger fingers, and be thankful that I don't have neighbors like you. Our neighborhood has only had 1 incident with a pack of stray town mutts. To us, these were obviously mutts that no one fed or took care of. That had no collars and ran in a pack of 4. They were mixed breeds. They had been seen in the neighborhood a couple of times, but never bothered anything, until the day they were chasing one of the neighbors yearling calves. He is a full time dairy farmer and usually carries a rifle in the truck/tractor with him. I guess he was lucky he caught them in the act. No harm was done to the calf, and 3 of the 4 dogs did not make it back to town. The thing was, to him this was obviously a pack of stray mutts. I'm all for controlling your dogs (as I said, I keep mine penned or tied most of the time), but I still maintain that there is a difference between a couple of hunting dogs with collars roaming through, and a pack of mixed breed mutts with no collars. That's just the rule we follow: a maintained dog with a collar gets a free pass and a phone call. A mutt looking dog with no collar might get one free pass, but not a second. Yote's do not get a free pass either, as we consider them worthless, even though I don't believe they bother the livestock. JMO. [/QUOTE]
