I live Alabama, about 80 miles North of Daleville. Three of four years ago, I found 3 large pitbulls in my barn—one of them looked like a Cane Corso. I was coming up on the tractor, and they came at me very aggressively. I was able to drive them off by high powering the engine and chased them. I went in the house, grabbed my rifle and took a couple of shots in the ground where they ran off to into the woods.
After that, I was a little spooked. I almost never drive my tractor to the barn, as that’s where I keep it, and usually walk out the TO it. I just so happened to be using it to scrape the driveway. I shudder to think what I would’ve done if I was on foot.
Luckily, I never saw those dogs again. Hardly ever a stray around, come to think of it.
You shot into the ground instead of into the dogs? Why?!
