He is the wildlife specialist for Three Rivers Parks. He does the sharpshooting at night in a couple of the parks they manage. Well he did for years. Been several years since i saw him. Very unreliable person so i seperated ways....

You guys have offended me. I am pro-cat. Well SD you identify yourself as a woman too.....so, big damn deal! Cat's belong in the barn at best. I have one in the house at the moment and I hate it. So I pester the shit out of it with a laser pointer. No, it's not on my handgun, but I would if I had one. I LOVE shooting cats. I like when they jump. I'm a sick bastard and laugh my as off when they jump! Only time I EVER shot one that didn't jump I shot with a 30-30 and blew a hole in that SOB the size of a baseball. I was pissed. I thought I missed.....nope.....just real damn dead! Cats are horrible on wildlife populations.

You guys have all been fooled by anti-cat propaganda from the same natural resource agencies that have connected the dots to all of society's problems back to deer. In all my time with a herd of farm cats growing up, I've never seen them with a bird I haven't shot.

Kill'em all!!!!

In all my time with a herd of farm cats growing up, I've never seen them with a bird I haven't shot. I don't hate cats. Growing up we always had at least one outside cat, at some point the old man got soft and allowed an inside cat. I'm not a fan of house cats. If you've never seen an outside cat with a bird they caught, you must not have had many birds around. The outside cat I have here (she showed up a few years ago, I would never have had a cat otherwise) kills a few birds a week. She kills salamanders too. The reason she gets to stay around is that she kills the shit out of mice, gophers, chipmunks, and voles.

Here's a weird twist on it, for the fun of it. I'm really not triggered by anti-cat sentiments, but for the sake of conversation...
We had a couple bird feeders and a suet cake cage in the tree in the front yard. One had thistle seed, the other sunflower. The cats were accustomed to hanging out between the barn, and the front door of the house. They knew they would have a chance of coming in the house if dad was gone, or they had a chance at scraps coming out the front door. They all lounged feet from those feeders and protected the birds. It wasn't until us kids were gone and the old man quit feeding the cats, that they all died off or left.
When that happened, he started getting fox squirrels emptying his feeders in short order and the birds didn't get fed much anymore. When there were a half dozen cats hanging around, you'd never see a squirrel. When the cats were there, tons of birds were seen, from cardinals, gold finch, chickadee, house finch, nuthatch, sparrows, blue jay etc. There were some cats who thought they could catch some, so they'd climb up the tree and sit still on the limb the feeders were on. That didn't last long. The old sage mother cats never wasted their time with that tactic.
They spent their time along the crack in the foundation by the feed room, in the wood shed, or along the corn crib. We did hunt sparrows with the cats up in the barn though. When we got third crop up there, we were very close to the ceiling. We'd position the good cats in the flight path of the sparrows (which shit all over the hay). My brother and I would block the exits when we had a few trapped inside. We'd chase the birds back and forth with brooms until they started tiring and would swoop lower and lower as they flew back and forth. Eventually they dropped too low and the cats would make a one handed grab outta mid air and stuff them right in their mouth.
That was a shitload of fun. The cats knew exactly what we were up to in no time.

She is back out there today. Then she came in the garage and caught a mouse. I am training her on turkeys!

I once saw three hen turkeys march a neighbors cat right off of Dad's property.
Good birds.

Cats belong in the barn and outside to control rodents. I hate when they venture beyond the barn lot and start taking rabbits and quail and the like. I won't shoot anything with a collar, but I see a cat "too far" from the barn......I won't think twice. I don;t tolerate stray dogs either. No collar and no idea who's it is......practice the 3 S's and move on!
Something I like for mice in the barn is a good snake! Tends to keep the wife in the house and out of my hair as well!
