Had an interesting day this past Saturday. I had just taken a doe with my ml and was starting to reload when I heard something running behind. By the time I got turned around a doe was already passed me and she was 3" inches to the ground and running flat out. About 30 seconds later a pit bull (who I had a Mexican standoff with at my truck during bow season) comes running in right on her trail. Hopefully she was able to get away. Well later that afternoon I went back to the same spot to meet up with my buddy for an evening hunt. As I was arriving I drive past a sheep farm that is right across the road from where we hunt and I see next to the woods that borders the sheep farm a dead sheep that is all torn up and laying in the woods about 5 yards from it is that pit bull and as I drove by he came out went back to eating on the sheep. My buddy pulls up about 5 minutes later and asks if I saw the dog and the sheep. I said yes and told him about it chasing the deer. My buddy said that dog must die and I am not kidding, 2 seconds latter we here shooting coming from back where the sheep was. In fact one of the bullets comes flying past us so close that we could here it. We ducked behind my truck. When the shooting stopped we took a look and saw the pit bull hightailing it back to its home which is a trailer in between our woods and the sheep farm. About 30 seconds later the Farmer came flying down the road in his truck into the trailers driveway. I half expected to hear more shots but all we heard was yelling and cussing. We thought about going over and putting our two cent in about it chasing deer but with the way emotions were at the time we thought better of it. I'm hoping that the pit bull will either be chained up or put down. I have a daughter who hunts with me out there and I don't want to have another encounter especially in the dark. He has tasted blood and I doubt it will stop now.
