No sorry for me as I was hoping for some.

One day I came home to find one in my pasture eating what was left of a chicken it took.
My neighbor has lost almost all of his chickens to these nasty things.

I mentioned once that a sheep farmer near us stopped raising sheep since he was losing so many lambs to them.

I can’t remember. Do you have one or more LGDs? Since we have gotten our livestock guardian dogs we have not lost one animal to predators.

We have two LGDs and we haven't lost any stock but that's probably because I have shot three of them this year. Last year I just had to shoot at them without trying to hit them and they went away. They were more stubborn this year and they didn't go away till after I shot the third bird. Most people around us have a kill permit for those things.

I would only feel half bad about that. Maybe not even 1/4 bad.

I don't shoot many critters anymore that I can't harvest but I have zero problem taking out these creatures.

We had a pack of ten pit bull dogs (about 8 months old) that would come into field beside us and go after the cows heels and travel the fence line
after our goats.....i called my neighbor who owns the cows, he told me they were his son's dogs and he has told him over and over that he needed to keep them on his own property....so then he tells me to shoot them and he will come with the back hoe and bury them......ok......if thats what ya all want, i will do that, as i am going to protect my critters...well i have probably shot toward them six diffrent times (i don't want to hit the cattle) .....and they leave...time goes by , they show up again....this time i go to the sons house, ( all kinda old woman pissed off and crazy) i told him this is over, I'm not wasting any more bullets on his dogs, i will just sit back and let them get my goats and at $400.00 a head x 6 we can go to court, he can pay my damages, court cost and fines etc........... I haven't seen those dogs for over four months sometimes ya can fix stupid.... $$$$$

 

[Mike CHS]

You did good but there is no way I would shoot someone's dogs on property that I didn't own. Especially not on a verbal.

Glad you got it "fixed" in the least "costly" way... for all concerned.
