was having coffee this morning and watching he birds at the feeder when i saw two dogs. So i went and put on my heavy clothes intending to go plink them in the a$$ with an airgun just to chase them off. So then my husband asked me where i was going and then he looked out the window and he said they're after the ducks. So instead of the air rifle i grabbed a .22. When i walked out i kept a big tree in the line of sight between me and the dogs so it wasn't obvious i was after them. When i was within range i shot the white hound type dog and it was hit but ran up over the hill. The gunfire didn't scare the German Shepherd mix, it continued chasing a duck. I shot it and it ran up under a pine tree wounded, shot it again and it was on its side turning circles, then another shot and it laid still. Hurried shots with the animal moving and not having a rest, they wasn't clean shots but good enough.
Went back to the house and my husband got dressed and we got a rifle for him and went to track the white dog. It had a sparce blood trail but we finally found it thanks to the snow. He drilled it with a shot behind the ear.
When i talked to my mom she said the goose is gone and 3 of the ducks and she was crying over the goose because it was her favorite. So then i called the sheriff and reported the incident and the deputy said if they're chasing livestock you're within your rights. Neither had tags, one had a metal choke collar is all.
