Neighbor dog on my property harassing wildlife

Head shot?

It wasn't an accident at all that he died from #6's...

I gave him both bbls. in the ribs, and when I skinned/gutted him, the lungs were peppered with small blood spots, so quite a bit of shot made it between the ribs, and he ran out of gas.

Didn't take a long time either, he only went about 30 yards, lay down and died... I've seen them shot in the lungs with a 30-06, that wasn't a lot faster...

Moose don't always die fast, but they aren't hard to kill at all...

BTW, as to pheasants at 40 yards: My dad always patterned his shotguns at 40 yards, and after the second day of pheasant season, the birds would run ahead and fly up at 35 plus yards. His shotgun has a Polly Choke, so he had it marked for 5's or 6's and turned it tighter for them.

At 40 yards dad put them down pretty much every time, so that's not that hard to do IF you pattern your shotgun and see if it patterns good at those ranges with the ammo you are going to use.

Ex wife killed a cow and yearling calf with .22 shorts, one shot each at about 15 yards. The moose had trampled and killed out dog several days earlier and we thought we had ran them off. Nope, moose chased the kids in the house, scared the Ex and instead of firing over their heads, she popped 'em both. They ran about 50 yards and dropped side by side.

She called me at work and I told her to call the baby sitter and then Fish & Game to report the shooting and they may be hauling her to jail. (Scared the crappola out of her). Anyway, she was absolved of any wrong doing and that her actions were justified after viewing all the evidence. Both moose were harvested within 2 hours by folks on the roadkill list.

I never thought .22 shorts could kill moose but I learned that anything is possible.

It seems like there would have been several violations committed by the sheriff. Animal cruelty and abuse as well as firearms violations by the dog owner. I致e never heard of a sheriff authorizing and actually commanding a dog owner to shoot his own dogs on his own property.

In today痴 world, it would be all over the news. People seem to get more upset over dead Rover than when a person is killed.

Around here it gets more press.

I suspect that he only gave us the short version of the story. I.E.; was there was a previous history with the dogs and had the owner been warned? If the story truly was as told then there are indeed several problems.

I guess I didn’t know what it took to kill a moose. Some animals are very tough, others not so much. You yell at a rabbit, it rolls over and dies. Raccoons, possums and groundhogs can be pretty tough.

Thats an incredible story!
So a sheriff went to a do owners property and made the property owner euthanize 14 dogs, while he stood there?

Sherif needs a court order! I would have escorted the sherif from my property!

Hey, if it's written on a it's forum without any type of news link, it has to be true. NEVER forget that

Head shot?

YOU ARE WRONG!!! I yelled at a rabbit in my garden the other day and it took off running! :laughing:
