After that whenever we saw dogs on the ranch the dogs got treated to hollow points. California law explicitly allows this.

I see we share similar experiences.

We have dogs as did many fellow farmers but luckily, none have ever gone "rogue" and needed, as you say, "the treatment".

It's usually boiled down to City people vs. County born people. We live near Ft Campbell and have lots of transients coming and going. We could always tell the difference by the way they allowed their animals to roam free in the "great wild"

Had one couple who claimed they didn't know anyone "owned" the land despite it was obviously fenced, plowed and planted with crops and had Black Angus cattle.

Had to pump four .22 hollow point rounds into their St. Benard's head after running our cows with heifers(one with a bleeding wound) running into our barbed wire fence.

I had no idea a .22 would be any good on a St. Bernard.

Christmas 2009 I got my Remington 700 SPS in .308 and it does a very effective job on whatever it gets aimed at.
