Six or eight years ago, I was trying to completely eradicate a small town that cropped up a couple miles from the big town I've shot for years. The same friend owned 'em both and wiping out the small town was a small price for access to the big town plus real good dove hunting.
I made a camp with my jeep trailer and a large tarp for a shade.
I estimated there were 30 - 40 dogs, all adults, when I started. I stayed there from noon on the start day, thru all the second day, until mid morning on the third day. They were pretty wild to start with, and got a whole lot wilder.
I figured I had them whittled down pretty good by the end of the second day. I was keeping count with a golf counter, but don't recall what it was.
I kept a very low profile for over an hour after sunup on the third day. Three dogs had shown themselves early, and no more ever came up.
I killed one and the other two went down, not to be seen for over an hour.
Next Spring, there were eighteen dogs up according to Ed Bunchalettersand numbers and his nephew who went to shoot at it while a couple other 'fire members and I stayed at the large town.
They didn't wipe 'em out, either.
