IMO you did well, restraint is wise when a guest on someone's property. post #14 is my POV, and you might inquire of the land owner if a buddy or 2 tags along to take out any group of feral dogs. some years back (still is AFAIK) Georgia had a bad feral dog problem, the F&G people let it be known that they would not ticket anyone carrying a firearm on state run (F&G commision) land during closed season while looking for the dogs.
there was a large pack running loose here in county I reside in, I got one of them when he came forward at me while outside mowing (I always carry a .32 derringer in pocket, just as I do my knife) and tried to get a shot at them again later that p.m. with my 10/22, this pack killed a herd of sheep a few miles off, over 40 IIRC. finally some folks started baiting them in and shooting them. it's amazing how ferocious even smaller dogs get when packed together, really brings out the aggression.
