More on Dogs and Predators
I was just thinking that I didn't fully explain the dog issue. Especially the Alpha male, the Beta male and how the pecking order works. The meanest, toughest, and most willing to draw blood will be the Alpha. He more or less runs the pack through fear and intimidation. The Beta male is the second strongest. He may challenge the Alpha male, but as soon as he starts to lose he will back off. The Beta is just as dangerous as the Alpha and his whole purpose in life is waiting for the day he can run the pack. So the Alpha has a Judas in his mist, if in a fight with a new dog that tries to take the pack over, the Beta will watch this fight intently. Even if the Alpha drives off or wins the fight if he is serious hurt the Beta may try to finish him off for control of the pack. Why is this important? This is one piece of vital information I forgot to tell you. If wild dogs attack you, the two most important dogs to kill are the Alpha and the Beta.
You see, the Beta is waiting for his turn to run the pack. So if you shoot the Alpha, the Beta might just call off the attack just so he can run the pack. That doesn't mean you are out of trouble. All that means is there is a new leader and next time they will try something different. If TEOTWAWKI does happen, then the dog packs will find you, I guarantee it. This is how I will try to explain this. The best place to trap coyotes is a running full time farm. The largest farm in the area is always the best place to trap. Now stop and think about why? Okay, let me rephrase the question. The best place to trap coyotes in any county is the largest livestock farm. Why? If you all thought about it you would come up with the smell of food.
You see all dogs are from the wild, in their past they are all cousins to fox, coyotes, and wolves. They mostly hunt with their nose. So the farm with the most livestock that has calves, cows, chickens, sheep, whatever the farmer is raising. Some die off during the year, the farmer takes the carcasses to the back 40 and lets the predators clean up. The predators were out there the whole time coming by checking out the place looking for an easy meal. Do you see my point?
That is why the dogs will find you. Maybe not at first, but they will find you. They will smell your camp, cooking, cleaning game, livestock, etc. They will come. I have studied predators. I have tracked them for miles in the snow just to learn how they cross the country, how they hunt, how they think, how they react to man, etc. This has taught me a great deal. In the winter, we have a great deal of snow and this is hard for the predators. When a deer dies off, predators from miles away come to feast on him. After the body gets torn up, the predator birds will be there and every predator will get its share. I have come up on these sites. Which way do the predators first approach the kill, do you think.? The down wind side. There is an advanced predator trapping lesson here, if you are paying attention.
This also shows on any trapping where you are using lures, the importance of the wind. If you are trapping a river and the wind is blowing across into your face, then you are setting on the wrong side. Any animal that you hope to lure to your set must first smell it. This sounds so obvious, but it takes a mental note in your head to keep this in mind. Now, do you start to see how the packs will find you?
This is how I plan on dealing with this problem, 100 snares will guard my place. 100 snares sounds like a great deal of work, but it really isn't, this could be done in one day. Even a novice can do it in three days, tops. Everyone with me that carries a weapon will kill every dog on sight. This problem has me upset, it is something I should have thought of years ago. I understand nature and why a pack of hungry wolves doesn't scare me like a pack of wild dogs, is quite simply that the wolves are taught to fear man.
I will try to explain this in detail, but the best way is through actual events. Here in Michigan back in the 50's, they outlawed bear hunting, and a few years after the bears where not hunted, this took place:
A family is living in the woods. Dad goes off to work on a nice spring day, so mom has her baby on the front porch while she is inside cleaning. The baby was around 18 months old and was just enjoying the sun, when a black bear come up and grabbed the child. The baby started screaming. The mother's instinct took over and she did one of the bravest things I have ever heard off! Armed with a broom, the mother started beating on the bear to make it drop the child. The bear was annoyed and simply ran off into the woods with the child. Mom was immediately on the phone, and before long, the whole town was out there to search for the child.
Luckily there was a pack of trained bear hounds in the area and soon the trail was found. It wasn't long before they found what was left of the child and the bear was ran down and shot. This whole incident happened because the Department of Natural Resources didn't understand nature. The rule is quite simple; you are either a predator or prey. Which do you want to be?
You need more examples? OK.
Out in the western states the animal rights groups would pour all their resources into one state at a time, until several states outlawed mountain lion hunting. Now, remember the rule, predator or prey! I can't remember the exact numbers, but every state that outlawed mountain lion hunting has had the highest mountain lion attack's ever recorded. The mountain lion has no reason to fear man, so we become prey. Especially small children! You see, the animal rights people would rather see your child attacked and mauled then allow hunting. This cheapens human life.
One more example: Arizona recently outlawed trapping. When this happened, I wrote the rule (predator or prey) and stated that the coyotes would start attacking children within five years. I was wrong, it only took two years. In Phoenix last summer two children out playing where attacked and mauled by coyotes, luckily they survived the attack. The animal rights people have an agenda that is in goose step with the NWO. They are trying to ban all of us from hunting, trapping, fishing and, worst of all, even walking in the woods.
I got a little off track, but my whole point was to show how nature works. Dogs and man are part of nature, and the rule always applies. God forbid, if TEOTWAWKI does happen, then the rule will apply even more because dogs have no fear of man to begin with and man does not consider dogs as a threat. You will either establish that you are the top predator of your area, or you will be prey.
