Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire One Less Poor Misunderstood Pit Bull

I get a wakeup call early this morning from my Mom, who lives about 100 yards away, screaming that "They're in the garage trying to kill Rosco!" Rosco being her pansy half Husky/ half Collie. I only had a pair of pajama pants on, but slipped on a pair of shoes and grabbed my evil deathgun (AR15), and took off through a foot of snow to her house. I heard them in the garage, and fired off 3 rounds just outside to try and scare them off. Didn't work. I went inside, and they had him pinned between the car and the wall. They saw me, and started to come at me, so I shot the 1st one. The other took off out the door. I shot 3 times at him, but that sumbitch was picking them up and laying them down. Good news is that the 1st one won't be a problem again, but I sure do wish I had got that 2nd one...........

Give yourself a pat on the back, you just did what alot of guys would of liked to do themselves, ever since my mom was mauled by one, I hate pitbulls.

How did roscoe make out? We're they neighborhood dogs that have been a problem?

Problem is the owner of ANY dog/animal like that letting them run loose. I'm sure they will be "devastated" that little Spot was killed and it will be all your fault.

Bingo!

Roscoe is sore, and scared, but I think his nappy mutant hair protected him from the worst of it. And yes, we have been having problems with them for over a year, progressively getting worse. This was the 1st chance I've had to resolve the problem.

I wish that you had gotten that second one as well.

I am all for putting down pits, good job.

Flame me if you want, but SSS doesn't mean Say Stuff on the Screen.

Keep an eye out for fliers for a "LOST DOG"...you can then return the dead one & collect the cash reward if one is offered.
Maybe see if you can't have the other one legally taken care of...

Make damn sure there is a police report. Make sure the remaining dog is noted in that report as aggressive. Make sure the report indicates you acted in self defense. That buys you the right to shoot first and ask questions later.

Good job Hawk, glad your Ar was a 15 and not a 10, that'd tear up Mommas garage a bit.

I am one of those that thinks any dog raised right is not a menace. The damn owners should be shot IMO as well. Hope the pup (Moms) came out alright.

Deputies here were trying to serve a warrant yesterday and had to shoot a pit as well. Guy turned it loose on them, first one here in recent memory. I am sure some kid will complain they killed his "puppy". The dog weighed north of 80 pounds!

That's an 80 lb flying chainsaw where I come from T, and yes, shoot it!

I called the law, and had them go with me to the neighbor's house to tell them. I won't shoot any dog, even a Pit Bull, and not tell the owner. I've had dogs disappear, and always wondered what happened to them. I won't do that to someone else if I know who's it is. If I get a chance at that other one, I'll let them know about that one, too.

I did put a couple of holes in it, but she's not complaining...... Good thing those .224 holes are easy to cover up.

Sorry, but the pit bull breed has a touch of schizophrenia. They've been known to snap for reasons totally unknown and attack anyone and everyone. Even highly trained ones have turned killer without reason and many people have paid the price, even their owners. I won't allow one on my property.

fo sho

I sure hope he got a new charge for turning the dog on them.

One of our neighbors said they hadn't seen their cat in a couple weeks. After tap dancing all over the GTO for most of that 2 weeks in my garage, I couldn't hardly tell them the last time I saw their cat, he was headed toward a dumpster...
