While ranching in Montana, Ive had to shoot a number of dogs and coyotes. They get the cattle all stirred up and next thing you know, youve got 200 head making for the Idaho line.. I have to concur with the shotgun for close range. Dogs are difficult to kill. I usually used a rifle with a scope. If you dont connect with the cranial cavity with a rifle bullet, they just seem to keep on going.
