feral dogs can be quite cantankerous until the first shot has been fired.

victor traps is what we use as the first line of defense. my mtn feist was aggressive.



I always carry the rat shot as the first round then alternate with a bullet of whatever type. My thought is a snake is most likely what I'll be shooting. Should it be a dog or some other vermin a load of snake shot to the eyes should be a fairly good deterrent to buy me time to get another shot.

I have used the CCI capsule version in .22, .38/.357 and .44 spcl in a 44 mag, have not had a problem with any of it. Have dispatched snakes, mice and one bat after I had evicted it from the house.

I have wondered how it works but was never curious enough to test, ask or look it up on the net. The theory about the rifling scoring the capsule sounds good enough to me. As long as it keeps working, I don't really care.

Those who are always shooting off at the mouth usually aren't shooting straight.

What do you get when you cross a polar bear with a seal? A polar bear.

Did you hear they arrested the devil? Yeah, they got him on possession.
