I've got into this several times on other boards and have gotten into it again with a guy from New Jersey. I'll post a link to the discussion, for background, but what are everybody's thoughts here on the shooting of cats? Obviously not in the neighborhood, but out on your lease? www.wmi.org/boards/hunting/T4099.htm |

Easy....any feral cat or dog on my hunting lease or on a ranch I am hunting gets shot. I would lose the ranches I hunt on if I didn't take care of them.

Shoot the darned things I need some catgut for my guitar  ;D The reason that you couldn't post here earlier was because of PETA and a LEFT WING agenda that didn't want the truth exposed.    PETA is releasing cats trained to attack hunters. |

I was wondering why I couldn't post here earlier. Anyway, like Bob, I will be invited to leave my hunting lease if the land owner knows that I did not at least attempt to take any and all feral cats and dogs that I see.

DoeNob: For some strange reason, I couldn't post on this thread earlier. I ended up responding to your New Jersey buddy's responses. I posted under the name of "Largedeer", my top secret alias. After reading the thread, I just couldn't muster the self control necessary to back out of it. I ended up starting another thread here on Predator Posse regarding your communications with this jerk. I hope that my post wasn't too offensive to the rest of you brother Texans.

I don't have great expectations that this PETA member will respond to my post.

Well, I'm from KS and I guess I'm a bad hunter cause the last deer I took went into the back of a truck that had some no scratch that alot of beer cans in the bed of it. Sorry I'll turn the sarcasm off now.
I agree with the rest of you cats or dogs for that matter around my place take a trip to the pet cemetry. I give em a chance but if i see em with no collar and it's the second time down they go. As far as the gentleman from KS that started the thread goes. Well not all of us from here subscribe to that opinion.
KellyG. hey bud look forward to seein you and yours again sometime soon I hope.
Take care and be safe. Poacher

The first time someone has to pay Vet bills for a horse or steer that has been cut up by dogs ( for which I've had both ) their opion will change on the matter. Feral dogs as well as a pack of yard dogs are really worst on stock than yotes. IMHO.

I run angora goats on my place and I can tell you this, if you want your dog you had better keep him at home or I will "magnumtize" him!! 22 magnum that is!!
I lost 23 sheep in one night a few years back to a pack of neighbor dogs, thats a $3000 loss on my part till I shot a pack of them later on my place and took the new neighbor to court to collect.
Now cats are a different story IMO.
I think the local cat population here does more good than harm.
My barns all have at least one or two old cats in there and they keep the mouse/rat/rodent population in check.
I am also a dog and cat owner by the way but a responsible owner.
My dog is a working border collie here and the cat is just a cat I feed.

My local state senator got a pet llama for Christmas. Last week it was attacked by two well-fed pet Rottweilers on the loose and injured so badly it had to be euthanized.

Thanks guys, I was pretty sure you'd agree with me on this one, but always like to check with people I trust to give me a straight answer and let me know if I'm looking at things the wrong way.

fishman.... i feel the same as u. 'cept we dont have any pheasants. a feral cat can wipe out a whole covey of quail. our quail numbers have been down for so long.i realize there are a number of things that contribute to low numbers.......farming pratices, habitat dest., predator like coon, and cats and possums and skuinks. we have a bunch of those darn cattle egrets. they eat a lot of quail. wish we could shoot those things. back in the day i would just let my two pointers take care of any feral cat. one chomp from tex and sam and FUBAR the cat.. was the pheasant season a good one?
