While turkey hunting this morning before work, I was set up just off a trail in the woods. With thundering footsteps heading my way, I was expecting to see a deer or two run past.
Instead it was two Rotweilers running free (against the law in Maine). When they smelled my foot prints, they slid to a quick stop, began growling and circling. Then they spotted me.
They continued growling and started circling me this time. I figured my bolt action 20ga with bird shot would only deter one before I could squeeze off two, so I unholstered pocket pistol (first time ever!), a Titan .25 with eight shots ready and assessed the situation.
When they came together on the path again, now only ten yards away, I lunged at them and they fled.
As close as it comes for a Canine.
