That oughta do the trick

Hmmm. Whatever this was got past the fence, and broke into the chicken wire. It wasn't a raccoon, possum, or snake.

Replace the chicken wire, make sure it's insulated from ground, and get an electric fence driver.

I lived right inside the loop were South Main & Buffalo Speedway cross. The 24 hour restaurants right there were the culprits of many an emptying of pistols & revolvers, once all the bars closed and drunks ate.

A friend of mine had a Houston Chronicle route of vending machines & businesses in that area. He never went unarmed, keeping Surbu super shorty handy.

New Years morning around 3:00 am I swear someone with a 7.62 shot 20 aimed shots! Before FLIR on HPD’s helicopter my house would regularly get lit up by their flood light.

Oh you were right in the crap. We don't get the ghetto bird that often. But we do have tards that think it's fun to "wake up them country white people" (my neighborhood is mostly hispanic) and drive down the streets shooting guns in the air. One did it right in front of my house and almost caught a mag from an AR-15 for their trouble.

I 'adopted' a Blue Heeler dog that was abandoned on the rural road in front of my house. It took to killing neighbor chickens to live. I took it in and when I got the dog used to living here it started after my wife's chickens.

I put the dog in a stock trailer with one of the dead chickens tied to his collar for several days.

Food and water was all he got until the dead chicken rotted enough to fall off the collar.

Washed the dog and let him into the house. (never even looked at another chicken for the rest of his 14 year life)

22 LR subsonic, since you dont have a suppressor, use a long barrel that will minimize the report. My brother used a Remington model 572 unsuppressed for years on squirrels for years. Quieter than a pellet gun.

Shooting in a neighborhood (1) is usually illegal. Are you willing to give up your LTC and/or all of your weapons? (2) could cause legal action and lawyer fees. ($$$$)

Instead, use a pellet gun and shoot them EVERY TIME they come into the yard! Every time! They will learn that chickens cause them to get hurt.

Best choice would be to file charges against the owners and get the dogs removed from the county. Every complaint after that would go on the owners record. The only upside I see is that your practical target shooting would improve, but at what cost?

I think I like the cut of your jib.

1. It's technically still in the county.
2. It's not me...
3. Don't think that's going to work - yet.

Not sure how it has all those bad reviews. My Excalibur is awesome!

Some chicken breast taped to a bottle of tannerite will do the trick.

One of these.

Box of these. When I shoot them I can hear the hammer hitting the firing pin.

Also, this works well too.

Yep that's what I was talking about. Those things are stupid quiet.

 

[ZX9RCAM]

And the reason they are stupid quiet also makes them cruel to use trying to stop a dog of any substantial size.

And that's why I was working up a load for a 30 cal peashooter. I wouldn't use that subsonic 22 on anything bigger than a coon.

I shot an angry feral cat with one of those .22 CCI QUIET. I shot it (head-shot) when it was looking right at me. It ran off and I had to shoot it again because it showed up the next day with a hole in it's mouth into the back of it's head. (busted teeth and it did not look healthy)

Shot it again with a regular .22 LR and ended the misery.

I will not shoot a cat again with a .22 short. (maybe a rat?)

 

[baboon]

A.22 short will dispatch a pig when put right behind its ear, but at the range to do it right a dog would have to be penned up!

This guy makes a compelling case for an Air Venturi.

Skip ahead to 6:10 in video for first pig. Then skip a minute or 2 for the next 3. Dude is annoying AF though.

Watered down 38 special out of a levergun is what I would use. Probably quieter than a .22 lr out of a rifle. Not CCI quiet quiet, but definitely not loud. I shoot them all the time without earpro. Then again I also have tinnitus, so.... yeah.
