The last couple nights, our dog starts barking, barking, barking, about midnight. I got a bit mad and just went out on the back porch in the dark about midnight, one night, with a flashlight. Turned on the flashlight and there's the dog, barking like mad, facing the back yard. So I start the slow flashlight swing across the back yard, the dog takes off like mad, running for the back gate (about 350 feet back from the porch). I swing the flashlight slowly back and forth, it's kind of cool the way you can light up the trees a-waay back there, main intention is, freak 'em right out. ;D The dog's barking like mad right on the road by the back gate, and I'm swinging the flashlight so it's lighting up the road now ... and I hear a little voice from the other side of the back yard, out in the pasture, sounds like, calling something like "Max!" "Max!" ... I just stay on the dark porch, swing the flashlight back over the pasture, then turn off the flashlight and go back inside.
So what're ya s'posed to do if people are walking around on your property in dark of the wee hours? ... and not much in the line of "law" available around here ...

I have use the sound of the pumping of a shotgun to clear my property. It works very well. (of course this is a taped sound.)

many years ago I was visiting my Grampa-- he was in his 80s-- any hooo one night long after we gone bed I heard him up and walking in the kitchen so went to see whats wrong--no lights on--- well someone was out fooling with his car out on the back side of the circle, he had cataracts so bad so I picked up his 3030 standing in the corner-- went to the door and fired off 2 shots over their heads up in the tree top as I shouted next shot is aimed at yawl fools. Well dang if a branch didn't fall from the tree onto the car and those 2 had their hands up and was a yelling dont shoot please dont shoot no mo ! Was a couple boys trying to steal his battree!

I agree with the "cha chung" of the shot gun. But my motto is this: "you may hear the first shot, but you won't hear the second." I suspect the low lifes will be out in force as time passes. These are the "something for nothing" crowd. I too am sick of them. I carry, and all my guns are loaded and ready.
