Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire If I ever come across a loose Pit Bull......

Never thought I would see a Pitt that was as sweet as a Lab but I guess we got lucky. She's a keeper.

...you know a man without a dog doesn't have jack [bleep]. MB

....he's dead. Bank it.

My neighbor suffered an unprovoked attack at his father's house. Father's new woman friend had the dog at father's house. Father and son were in the kitchen. Dog came charging in the kitchen. Did his best to fend the dog off. Lost a toe and most likely his thumb will have to be removed. The man works on his feet with his hands both at his day job of a linesman and tending to his chicken houses. His teenage daughter could have easily been the victim, and probably would have been killed. I am livid.

Have seen propaganda here and there (especially social media and yes being there is a mistake) that shows the purported amount of bites by breed.

Small dogs are always first

Pit bulls are always last

The theory that poorly trained pits are the only ones that attack is horse [bleep].

You ever seen a retriever that doesn't retrieve?

A pointer that doesn't point?

A hound that doesn't sniff?

A herder that doesn't herd?

With enough training maybe you could discourage these traits, but you'll never get rid of them.

sounds like your typical high intelligence pit owners

A 19 year old girl was severely mauled here last week as she walked a pit from the shelter. She had walked it many times and it was her favorite. It chewed up both arms and a leg, dragging her into the brush. Other walkers heard her screaming, and called the cops. She was lifeflighted to Missoula for surgery. Thankfully she is going to be all right. The police found the dog, which had finally left the girl and shot it. I have no tolerance for pits, or any other dogs running. I shot 2 dogs chasing deer a while back, and shot a dog chasing my boys lambs a few years back. The owners kept their other dog a little closer to home.

My adjacent neighbor to the north had a calf killed by a pack of the local pit hybrid dogs. 5 of them, a mama dog and 4 yearling pups about 40 lbs. each. They ran off and escaped when he drove up. He went back home and sneaked back on foot and climbed up in an elevated deer stand and waited with a rifle. Shortly the dogs returned to the bait. He shot the mama dog and then picked off the younger ones at leisure as they milled about confused.

Of course dum women luv to save pits

I have one animal under my care, a 9 year old pit. Best dog I’ve had. I trust her more than about all but 3 people on this planet.

Last year visiting a friend in Montana who rescued a pit Mix 7 years ago. She bragged what a wonderful sweet dog it was. I met her dog a few times over the years but it was usually in her truck and seemed friendly . I had enough bad experiences with psycho pits to question her and she said her dog was the bestest and most loving dog.She grew up around animals and had horses too. We were out in her pasture and my griff was in my truck. She said let my dog out of truck and go for a hike with both dogs. I knew better but I let my griff, a great upland and waterfowl dog and a sweetheart, out of my truck. Her psycho pit was on my dog and it pinned to the ground by her throat within 10 seconds. My pistol was back in the truck. ( dumb me) I see the life slipping out of my dog and start kicking and stomping the pit but would not let go. I should have picked it up by its rear legs and slammed it against a nearby tree. Not thinking I dropped to my knees and jammed both thumbs deep into the pit's eye sockets and it let go and bit my left hand. I had to go to emergency room for a crushed bone on my hand and take dog to the vet for stitches.


Any pit off a leash that comes near me is going too get shot. Ive seen too many children horribly disfigured or killed by pits. Maybe a generalization but all Pit owners are dangerous too because they know absolutely nothing about their psycho animals.

Thats like saying more people are shot with a BB gun than a 30-06.

Jam your finger up the dog's ass. It WILL let go, it keeps you further from the business end and for some strange reason, it sucks the fight right out of them. I know of one very reliable account of this working and I have heard of others. https://www.google.com/search?q=fin...138j1j4&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8
