I'll stand by my statement that a shotgun loaded with #4 buckshot and a predator call, particularly for feral dogs. The ones I hunted did NOT react like coyotes.
The whole pack charged immediately, and as good a handgunner as I might have been, I was glad as hell I had the semi auto Remington.
The sound of the snarling and barking and the sheer viciousness along with the quickness with which it happens....You better be a hell of a good shot with a handgun
and have the nerve to stand pat!
