Thread: Feral cat comp hopefully.

If your hunting an area that isn't close to housing and there's someone's cat out there chances are it's killing. That is an issue for native wild life.
I fail to see how the pet argument is valid personally. A cat that goes out killing for the heck of it then goes home for a feed and a cuddle,is still a killer.
Make sure your cat is inside on the hunt days. If you can't do that, then it's not a domestic cat, it's feral. Put a collar on it, make for easy identification that it's some ones.
A 22lr won't kill a cat if its shot bad . ( Though there is of course a higher likely hood of a closely misplaced shot killing)
I shot one of the neighbours cats years ago as it kept ripping up my possum skins in the wool shed when I had them pegged out. Then told her. She took it well. Ended up looking after her cats and dogs when she went away.
I'm all for it going ahead. Wouldn't underestimate rural kids shooting abilities. They would have to have supervision, there are age laws and regulations for air rifles!
I'd say a reasonable amount will be using 22lr under supervision for it anyway.
