RE: Would you shoot a tresspassing dog?
I was squirrel hunting in Maryland once and a doberman was walking broadside about 20 yards away. I was nervous. I only had a single shot H&R with high brass #6 shot. Sure enough the dogs fur raised up and he was trotting straight for me. I pulled bach the hammer and shot him in the neck area. He stopped and trotted off. That was my only dog situation. I say, only shoot when you feel threatened.
