Lakeman/Babygirl -

I know for many it would be very heartwrenching to shoot a dog - I have found it to be difficult myself, when I have decided to put an end to a dog problem. However, if you find yourself in a position that you believe you have exhausted all legal options and obviously you want to kill the dog quickly - I would recommend that when you visually see the dog - put a bowl of wet dog-food out and let the dog(s) begin eating. That way you will have chosen your spot (best/safest shot) to perform the deed . I know there are many will that joke about this being their last meal - but, that is not the intent and it is not a joke to have to deal with that kind of problem. The intent of the food is to get the dog in a position that when you take the shot - you can put the dog on the ground with little or no suffering. I would recommend that if it comes to the point of you having to shoot the dog - don't use a 22 or a handgun, more than likely it will not be a clean kill, instead opt for a scoped deer rifle - and be very careful of what is behind the dog, since more than likely the bullet will pass through the dog and be very lethal to whatever it comes in contact with.

I would ABSOLUTLEY recommend that you DO NOT attempt to poison the dogs - that will get you a world of trouble - particularly if you can imaging accidently killing someone else's pet or a wild animal that is protected.

I hate you guys are having to deal with this type of problem - but, unfortunately we have had to deal with the same type of issues at some of the hunting clubs that I have been a member.

Best of luck -
