Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Fuggin Pit Bulls

Louisiana has some real good laws on the books about dogs. For one thing we don't have a statewide leash law but it is illegal for your dog to be on someone else's property. Also it is very clear that any citizen may kill any dangerous or vicious dog and there is no criminal or civil liability for killing a dangerous or vicious dog. It is in Title 3 the agriculture section of the law but applies statewide anywhere and does not require the dog to be on your property if you kill him.

From now on when I see a pit comeing off a leash they will be hit 20 or 30 feet away with bear mace even if I dont know what there intention are, they get any closer the sig will be ready, not playing games anymore, my dogs are my family and illl protect them like I would my family

Rat terriers are in the same general class as Jack Russels but less crazy and less prone to running off.

Plus not long ago, a lot of Jack Russels got bred down to crap after the show Frasier made them popular.

You can have a rat terrier AND a cat, more of an either/or proposition with a Jack Russel.

Amen. Protect all whatever it takes.

Totally ridiculous example......

Hopefully you learned you should of had a gun or two with you. I leave a 9mm in my britches next to my side of the bed and have a 10mm on my night stand. Never leave your home without a gun, this could of went very bad, you never know what your going to run into these days. Your buddy looks like it's saying why me what did I do to deserve this.

I only ever had to break up one dog fight. Two of the neighbor's stock dogs had our JRT on his back. One had him by the throat, the other was chewing the hell out of his exposed chest. I was out in the yard working when I heard the commotion.

I had to go about forty yards to intervene. I figured the jack russel would not survive the amount of time it would have taken me to go in the house, open the safe. and load a gun. So I picked up a fallen tree limb on the way. About 2 1/2 inches in diameter and seven feet long.

I brought that stick off the ground behind me and cracked one dog over the head in my best Paul Bunyon axe swing imitation. I hit him so hard, it broke the limb over his head. But that is all it took. They both, along with a third dog standing 30 yds back watching took off for home as hard as they could run.

That damned JRT jumped to his feet and took off in high pursuit. He came back about five minutes later with his head in the air and tail wagging, proud as hell for running those big bullies away.

But by night fall the little schitt was so stiff he could hardly walk outside to do his business. It was a Sunday morning. Monday, I was there when they opened the doors of the Vet Clinic. They put in about thirty stitches and gave him some analgesics. IIRC, the bill was a bit less than $150. Pretty reasonable!

If the attacking dogs had been pits, I would have made the detour into the house and grabbed one of the 41s. Our JRT would have probably been dead by the time I intervened, but I would have gotten at least one of the attacking dogs.

I usually end dog issues with the 264 and a 100 gr ballistic tip, but a couple have fallen to the 22-250, and one to the Marlin 1894 in 41 mag. The only times I have used a handgun on a dog have been end of days mercy shots. Even a 17 HMR works there as well as the 327. Actually a 22 lr shot shell to the base of the skull puts a dog down instantly. I have done so with 3 or 4 over the years.

Bullshit.

You've missed the big picture....

1. In bed sleeping from working many hours.
2. Woke up from wife screaming, pounding on window, dogs fighting.

3. Timer starts......
4. Clueless as to what is really happening.
5. Run like a mother fuucker through the house, into the garage, to the outdoors.
6. See sticks on bench. Pick them up.
7. Proceed to beat the fuuck out of the dog that is chewing your dogs up.
8. Diffuse assualt quickly.
9. My dogs life is saved and pit bull is stopped.
10. This all happens in a very short time span.
11. Discharging a firearm in Huntington Beach California would get messy.
12. One again... every second matters.
13. Curious as to what you all would have done?

Time......

Where you there or are you a keyboard warrior?

You calling me a liar?

Yes. That's what bullshit means.

Interesting perspective you have.

It's known as common sense.

You claim to have fractured the skull (sic) of a pit with two drumsticks.

I will just leave this here. I went down and talked to the owner of the cow dogs the next day. The one I smacked had hardly even a knot on his head. His owner had not even noticed any damage.

If I was forced to choose a blunt instrument to thwart dog attacks, it would be about four feet of 1 1/4 inch schedule 40 galvanized pipe with a pipe cap on each end and five pounds of lead poured into it.

Where you there? Fractured was being polite....

Apparently your striking ability is substandard.

I'll leave that here..

Pit skull (sic) is now mush?

Well, it was *two* drumsticks.

No, I wasn't there when the bullshit happened, but I was *here* when you posted that the bullshit happened.

That's close enough.

They are great dogs but get really possessive with age. Why Gumbo turned on my wife is anyone's guess, she's an animal lover and has been attacked 3 different times by dogs. All 3 of our Catahoulas would bite if you got out of your vehicle in our yard, sometimes, no growling or barking just bite the heck out of someone. It got to the point where you had to chain them if someone drove into the yard because you never knew what was going to happen.

A golf club will easily kill a dog and makes a good walking stick.

Fubarski.... I guess this reveals your intelligence level or lack thereof.
