I was walking my pup yesterday in the neighbors pasture just letting her mouse and run, didn’t have my e-collar on her, she was 50 yards ahead of me, I stopped behind a large bush to take care of business when I heard her bark, and other barks & growls in return, stepped out to see a pack/bunch of dogs 6+ with collars on (never seen them before) charging up to her as she charged towards them about 25 yards apart I yelled her to come back, she stopped hackles all up raising he11, the dogs saw me and took off, she gave chase for about 10 yards then returned all pizzed off, I was glad she returned and had challenged them, but wish I’d have had the collar on in case she didn’t. don’t want to light up someone’s dog but she is still a little small much less several dogs at once.
I had a AS I used for coyote years ago but didn’t have the money for a collar at the time and no way I could call him off a chase so I use to just stake him out with puppy in distress as a live decoy. I shot 5 coyotes off him one night on one stand about 1 minute apart with my NEF 223 ran out of ammo and got up yelling afraid I was about to lose him to # 6 LOL didn’t do that anymore
my sister took him just to make sure when she found out what I was doing! buy the way he would eat light firecrackers that upset my sister on her first 4th of july with him thinking I taught him that
