No Worries Davey!! You have your position and I have mine and if your animals stay on your property, no problems with me. I've always appreciated someone that can express their views rationally, even if I disagree, without getting personal. Keep in mind the 440 rule is for property owned by the occupied residence and does not apply to adjacent property owned by someone else. I've had to deal with that issue as well as part of my hunting property is closer than 440 to the adjacent landowners house and he's called the Game Warden on me more than once claiming the 440 thing because he doesn't like anyone out there. Those have been some interesting situations at times. Merry Christmas to you too Davey!!

Feral cats are NEVER NEVER NEVER, did I say NEVER, yep I sure did, NEVER A GOOD THING!!!!

Dispatching them without Mrs. KDM being informed that live fire is eminent isn't particular heathy either.

I am a town living SOB, I have a dog, and a cat. My dog is with me most of the time, other than working hours. My cat is where ever he wants to be, he roams the neighborhood, as do a few other cats. He is in the house most times, but makes it outside and keeps the neighborhood mouse free, sometimes birds, once a squirrel, and few rabbits. I have never had a neighbor complain, in fact my one across the street locked him in his garage to rid a couple mice from it for 2 days. He later told me he did this hoping I wouldn't be upset. I told him I never even noticed he was gone. If my dog gets out and roams, my neighbors are pissed cause he shits everywhere, plays hard with the little dogs, and roots through their garbage's.
I wouldn't care to much if my cat disappeared for good, I would care if my dog did. Funny thing with pets, everyone enjoys a specific one over the other. Both my pets are fixed, cat is even declawed in the front feet. If a neighbor ever confronted me about the cat, I would not let him roam, but seems to be no problem with any of them.

That sign makes my toe hurt.

Mine too.

my neighbor would let his cat out at night to roam the neighborhood. The cat would return in the morning. Then one day, the cat didn't return and has been missing ever since. I wonder what could have become of that cat?

Cats are dumb. If hunting and one comes by it gets shot. Different story if it's the landowners cat though then it walks. I've killed so many cats it'd make your head spin. Was puddle jumping ducks one time. Was a bunch of birds in a drainage ditch next to a corn field. As I sat there making my plan of attack by the bridge where the ditch went under the rd all of a sudden 11 cats come walking out from under the bridge. I killed 7 of them with my 3 shots. The rest ran into the corn before I could reload. Nearest house was 2mi away so guessing they got dropped off. And no I didn't kill any birds cuz they flew away while I was blasting cats

Relax Ghost. Just trying to understand the "agreement" as it seems quite odd. Wasn't trying to point it at you personally.

It is not as odd as you might think.

It is kinda understood in many rural communities that peoples dogs need to learn to stay home. If I want a dog in my yard that pisses on my tires and chases calves thru the corral fence I would not have shot the one I had that did.

I give a dog the benefit of the doubt one time and call around to find the owner and expect the same for mine. Neighbors understand that, I understand that. Only ever had one dog that ran off more than once. The second time I shot it.

Some thing that tickles my funny bone every time I picture it. Was out in a pasture where we had dug a garbage pit before deer season. Had pulled an old wood granary out there to burn by the hole we dug and thought I would take a shot with the 300 win mag at about 100 yards to see where it was shooting. Took aim at a nail head I could see and touched er off. Took another look and all that was there was a hole were the nail had been.

Was putting the lead bag and gun up when a stray tom cat we had gotten tired of having around came walking out of the trees and over towards the garbage pit. Thought perfect, won;t even have to go pick him up.

The cat stopped and sat down looking at something in the pit. Settled in and touched off the 300.

The cat lept straight up in the air at LEAST 6 feet and took off like a streak of black greased lightening. Couldn;t figure it out as I had it right on his head. Got the lead bag back out and set up and fired another round at the hole from the first shot. This one hit about 10 inches low. the first shot had hit a nail 10 inches below the one I was aiming at in the same stud.

Figured that 180 grain round slid directly under that tom cats nuts. I never knew cats could run that fast, he would a beat a cheetah.

Do cats really have more than one life, and how do we prove it otherwise?

You should see the cat problem we have in Minto, ND you can hardly leave the garbage out on garbage day with out a cat tearing it all to shit, i had to actually go in and set live traps under the day care in town because so many cats were living under there and pissing and shitting that the whole daycare was starting to smell, and this is the day care that my niece and nephew go to. I am not a cat person by any means and never really have been and i have shot a wild cat or two in my day, a cat near a farm yard is off limits to me and if you know anything about cats you can tell which ones have been petted and which ones havent... i dont want to kill anyones pet but i can tell you this living next to that daycare and having all those cats around non stop i wouldnt mind being able to set more traps and get rid of them things, and i have my lab trained pretty well to hate cats too so i dont have to worry about them in my yard, but they are very bad here in town.

oh and if my dog happened to run off, which she never does, and someone decided that since a dog ran off and its out in the country and they were going to shoot it, they better watch their ass because they would have hell to pay and i dont take lightly to that shit....

9 rounds in a magazine?

When you have wild cats living under a building like that you definitely have a cat problem and should be dealt with ASAP. I like my cats but I have taken the ones out that don't fit into my management plan. I try to keep one inside cat and one in the barn. Where I have a problem is outsiders coming into my territory thinking they know which cats I want and which ones I don't .

You have a "cat management plan" and it doesn't include killing all the cats. You're a queer fellow.

 

[arrowdem]

haha.. not gonna lie the management plan deal kinda caught my eye too.. i mean i manage my property for deer.. but for cats?... haha.. its just a bit amusing is all.. like are you breeding the best ones and trying to get the bad genetics out of your area? do you feed minerals or plant cat nip food plots for them?
