Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Tennessee Girl Killed By Pack of Dogs

Finally...a part of the world that exhibits common sense.

Hate that young lady to to suffer that long. That is an horrible way to go. Prayers for her family.

You need a real fence to keep dogs on the property. Then make sure not to ever teach your dog to jump barriers. If you can keep them from learning their fence jumping abilities in their first year, they will never discover on their own that they can climb or jump a fence. I've had dogs physically capable of climbing or jumping fences all my life, but not a one ever did. Teach a dog how to do it (like for obstacle course work) and you will never again be able to let your dog into a fenced yard. Huge mistake.

This 2 year old yellow lab I have, I put the collar on him, no squints, nothing.

I borrowed my brother in law's coon dog trainer. He has a wild ass Plott he has it set up for. I got his remote and put it on my yellow lab. No effect....couldnt even detect more than a slight flinch if anything. That was with the extra long neck probes too. I even sprayed him down with the water hose and tried it because I swore it was a junk rig. Still nothing.


I swapped it out and put it on my black male lab for a test and hit the remote button just once and he folded up and hauled ass back to the garage. Poor bastard stayed under my truck in the garage rest of the afternoon.

That's how I teach a new dog not to chase my chickens. It only takes a couple of times. The trick is to time it in such a way as to have the dog think that chickens have some kind of natural defense mechanism where they can shock you in the neck if you threaten them. From then on, they will give them plenty of space.

Hawkeye, I have 6ft chainlink around 2 acres. I put that up mainly to keep my boys when they toddlers from going down the spring fed branch and get on a copperhead.

We leave our gates open and I had the underground wiring just under the entrance.

They were wandering out the gate. We didn't have good communication on friends and family shutting our gate.

Been looking at an automatic opener but our gate is also a wet weather stream spillway. It's somewhat complicated

Lmao

On the chickens, my female lab was getting after some penned up chickens, just harrassing them through their cage wire but it was incessant. I fixed her up with some electro education. About three times over a week I let off the cabling and let do her thing up at the coop. After the 3 rd time she retired from that pursuit. She would not even go with me up there get the eggs.
She'd look at and be me like "NFW dude there's bad Ju Ju up there, be careful"

The boldface text is exactly happened to our own Roger (stxhunter) who had a nice friendly pitt bull who was never mistreated.

Until one day Petey the pitt bull tried to kill Roger. If Roger hadn't been a big guy with lots of dog experience and fighting experience in his younger days, it could have turned out a lot worse!

Up until then, I was pretty much in the "pitt bulls are not the problem owners are" camp. Now, with me having a pretty damn clear assessment of Roger (and his ability to be the alpha male in any pack), I decided that perhaps I had been wrong.

I've always been careful around pitt bulls from when I worked in a veterinary practice and had a few close calls, but I give them an even wider berth now!

Do a search for posts by stxhunter see the pictures. Personally, I like my nipples right where they are -- and unchewed!

Amen.

LOL. Exactly. They think chickens have a special power.

I can't think of many worse ways to die. I also can't believe, that someone didn't come out of their house and shoot some dogs.

Watchful neighbors can become desensitized to shîtbyrd other neighbors and their goings and comings.

We have 253 acres and own everything on 'our side' of the road for 3/4 of a mile.

Across the paved road is a slice of 8 newer homes constructed in the last 5 yrs.

For a couple years, I'd come out of my garage to sound of little kids screaming in bloody terror, motorcycle drag races, redneck lottery winning couple that cusses each outher out every sat/sun afternoon.

After a few dozen times of the same chit: I have concluded that the little screaming brats are ADHD, fetal alcohol retards, and the rest is just typical redneck behavior.

It will suck for them when motorcycle drag race dipshît runs over ADHD kool aid kid and I don't respond to their shrieks.

This nearly happen in the County where I live. An older lady went out to get her mail and her neighbor's dogs, who she saw every day, jumped her and tried to eat her alive. A passing motorist saw the mauling and came to her rescue. She lived , but needed several surgeries to put her scalp and face back together. She also had skin loss in other places. The dogs were a group of mixed breeds with a Doberman and boxer/ bulldog mix as the main leaders. They had been allowed to run free near a State Park full of deer, and had started running deer every night and killing them when they could. This taste for killing and blood transferred eventually to humans. Feral dogs are one reason I always carry a firearm in the woods or in the country, especially when I'm alone.....also for the "two legged snakes". When dogs get a pack mentality, whatever the alpha dog does, the others follow. They actually revert back to their wild, pack hunting state given the right circumstances.

Could be that one guy owned all the dogs.

This.
