Ha we caught 1 on our first night in abrhams , like you we didn't want to use our loud centre fire so opted for the swim only downside the tide was well out & no one fancied getting wet boots so it did go for a swim but lets just say it took some effort to find a deep enough pool for it .

You missed an open goal there...surely 'claws' would've been an epic dadjoke

Can i get some clarification on measurements... maybe we need a new scoring system for rats?

Rat was 400mm before the cat got in the way and started chewing on its head, thats about a normal size for the ones i'm getting in the traps lately

Got this guy this morning. Won't score that well due to being a Manx. Attachment 114938

It's not the GF's that I would be worried about, isn't that a horses tooth on the grass beside him - he sure must have been hungry !!

Today’s effort for a Morgan Score...

a couple of years ago Icaught a big hua in the act of removing ducklings from a frantic hen.fucker had alive duckling in its mouth when i framed him in the torchlight-a large feral snarl saw a duckling miraculously scoot off to be replaced by a charge of 34gm no3steel out of my trusty 12g semi auto.
sure as hell fucked his evening outing infinito.
couple of nights later saw another big ginger prick in the same area -no excuses -shotty spoke problem cured!
possums are another that ill kill on sight -no bloody excuses -ive seen the damage the bastards can do and the racket they make so a steel blowjob simply stops the breeding urge...PERMANENTLY

They take a huge toll on bats, birds, lizards etc. Don't underestimate them. And they are everywhere, not just near people or developed areas. I have seen and removed them in many high and very remote wild places around the country. I have removed over 100 so far this year myself already. Love Gareth or not, he spoke the truth and is putting his money where his mouth is regarding conservation. It is the great Kiwi way to view people like that with suspicion. We need to manage domestic cats better and stop thinking of feral cats as anything other than a top predator. They are certainly not a cute moggy just waiting for a loving family to rescue them. Morgan score or not, be a hunter who actually makes a difference. Put your skills to good use. If you want a true hunting challenge then forget deer and show me a hunter who can consistently deliver on feral cats. They are few amongst us.

Can’t believe this is a thing wish I knew, I shot one before lockdown and another one last week when we were out spotlighting a mates farm going to take pictures of them from now on.

Well a farmer I know lives in the sticks up north. He gets 12 cats a year and he's ages away from town. And he doesn't try that hard with the cage trap.

They're a huge problem.

That’s quite a few.... have shot a few over the years just down the road as well. Not as many as that though..

One of the lowest points in my life was explaining to an 8 and a 6 year old (neighboring farm to my sisters)why I had killed their cat.Stopped shooting them for a long time.

This guys done well with a monster down south.

For sure. And each generation will become more and more programed and reality as we knew it wont exist IMO
We have already gone past plastic people. Just look at how many of todays sheep can't exist without their cell phone eh.
