Stray dogs ranging on cattle land has long been an issue with cattle farmers. As a kid, I took care of such problems when I could. Neighborhood boys would shoot their .22's at roving dogs on their places and these dogs got smart, knowing just how far they needed to be.
That worked until they got to our place. .22LR range was a mistake for those dogs, because a certain teenage boy with a .244 Rem 40XB, moving 60 gr. Sierra's at a very respectable clip, was ready for them. A good number ended their roaming careers right there. Buzzards harassing new born calves didn't fare very well, either.
