I shot a dog with a load of rock salt one time that was raiding the
chickens. I was surprised with the force it hit the dog. I was aiming at
its ass, and it swung his ass all the way sideways and smacked it on the
ground, but his front feet never left their position. Felt bad after I did
it, but the dog never ever came close to our property again. If you use
salt, go with something light like Kosher sized bits rather than the coarser
water softener sized crystals.


Like the old joke about mixing Alum with rock salt so the wound
puckers over the salt? ;-)


It's probably going to be a short shot anyway. Stock killing animals are
not tolerated in the country, and most people will shoot to kill if they
know it's a dog that has killed before. It is legal in our agricultural
zoned area. Same with deer and coyotes, or foxes. Once they get the taste
of it, they will kill more than they can possibly eat, probably for fun or
instinct.
