I had a pack of wild dogs ... big mean ones ...come through one time .
I jumped up , grabbed my 12 ga and hit the door.
The yard was a flurry of wings and feathers as the chickens squawked and fled.
Dogs were every where ... just tearing wing from bone ...it was getting messy.
I raised my weapon and scanned for a target but no clear shot was open.
Then two of the biggest attackers appeared in the fray.
Right in front of me .. they were locked on to the same bird
...eye to eye growling like the blood crazed fiends they were ....
so I shot the chicken.
Dropped both of them where they stood. Literally.
They lay still on the ground... the chicken still locked in their jaws.
... I have pictures.
Maybe not as cool as the deer video ... but it's my good shot story ...and I'm telling it.
I'm in grouchy old man mode and I'm freepin after dark so............
......... get off my lawn ....
I’ve seen the end results of just that kind of event upon my own chickens, and decimated rabbits. You’re right, it is messy. And there’s a way to call them back so you can eliminate any further issues.
