I have had horses for several years. Right now I have 3 'wild horses' that I can't get close to. I just give them a place to live where they are not bothering anyone. Over the years I have had two instances where my horses have been shot, one time where a horse was stabbed and one time where one of my horses was covered in paint.
The last time I had a horse shot was over 3 years ago. I heard the shot and took my quad out to see what was going on. There were two ADULTS inside my fenced pasture with rifles. Didn't ask, didn't give warning- just opened fire with my 16guage loaded with #6 birdshot. it took them 8 shots from my double barrel to get out of my pasture, and I never heard a word about it later. I know I hit them, and I know how painful it is to dig that shot out of your skin.
I have no regrets, never made a secret of it and would do it again.
Where I live I was well within my rights.
I did spread the word around at all the feed stores in the area that next time I would use my SKS, maybe that is why I never had any more problems after that time. Birdshot from a distance is just painful, that SKS will drop an elk at 100 yards.
Well done!
