Dog on way out...

[Big Foot]

On my way out of the woods this am, almost hit the peak of a hill and bam -huge German Shepherd staring me down - I thought for a second Yote, then realized it was a Shepherd.

I know one thing, I was reaching to knock an arrow in 1/2 second before I knew what this animal was and or about to do...he stood his ground for a few seconds then took off...

Thank God.

Not sure what kinda shot I'd made with a charging animal ground level with an arrow....

The very reason I always pack heat.

Definitely ups the pucker factor.

This, Glock in hand at that point.

Is this legal?

I already had to fire a shot to scare off a big old mean looking dog that came in growling and would not run off till I put a bullet in front of him.

Here in the city I see lots of dogs. Ain't had much problem with em though. Well, nothing I can't handle. Its the two legged dogs that I have to watch for. They're much more likely to cause trouble.
Remember, in the suburban counties you need a Ga Weapons Carry License to dispatch 2 legged vermin.

This is why I chose to get my concealed carry permit shortly after I started bowhunting. I wanted to be able to legally carry a pistol during bow season for any unexpected encounters. Makes me feel better, anyway.

This...

Always have a pistol on my hip when I'm hunting (usually a Glock).

That's about 2 seconds longer than I'd give him. I always carry every day no matter what. And when I can't carry by law, it's not far away.

CCW permit in my wallet, on my person, along with my Glock 29 in 10mm. Always with me!

Is this legal?

Yes, but if it's during bow season you've gotta have your GAWCL to carry. Rifle season, no permit needed as long as you're going to/from, or actively hunting.

In other words your shot missed

 

[Fishin & Hunting]

No, I hit where I aimed. Dog could belong to some kid.

I let my dog run when I was a kid. I learned my lesson when it killed some sheep on the property next door. A hard lesson to learn, since it had to be put down after that.

A stare down is one thing. When he growls and shows aggression, there are no warning shots or shots to scare him off. He's a valid threat at that point. It's that simple!

X2, bowhunting and scouting

I always carry My Ruger just in case something like this happens, what really worries Me is when I go to Ontario every year, they don't allow pistols to cross the border and they have BIG wolfs!!! I carry My 444 Marlin cocked locked and ready walking to and from the stand up there
