What is it with ferals... seems to be a heap of black ones around. Black or tabby... or failing that a deep grey.

I did notice it had a slightly diff texture to it but honestly it tasted fine (I didn't know it was cat at the time) but realised what we'd been eating after seeing the story in the local cocky cage liner.

Yeah they seem to come in all colours, Blacks, greys, tabby's, ginger you name it, some are real cunning and others well not so much - either way I poke holes in em when they show up.
This one tried to outrun the 22-250 - nailed him in the freckle at around 80m

Using calibres far too heavy for feline, causing explosive bodyshots, at least get it over quick without having to make it look like a mass murder crime scene.

Having seen a mate put two good shots into a fox with a 22, only to have it run away, no doubt to die soon anyway, I can say that sometimes centerfire and mess is the way to go.

Funny you should ask ... we made jerky out of the one I pictured above.
My mate who made it also did a batch of rabbit jerky at the same time ... no one could pick the difference between the two.
Mind you it was heavily seasond.

Spot on Fuzzy, I'd rather put a big hole in em and have en dead there and then, rather than use something that's marginal and ends up causing unnecessary pain and suffering.
I wonder what this cat cal Heckler recommends - the one that kills them gently and without blood and mess?

Hit mine with the .204 Ruger, Scotty with a .222 so not even close to being called over powered. If I'd hit it with the Cheytac then fair enough but the little 204 is no where near overpowered for pussy. In fact I'd argue that the .416 with 450Gr HP's is still under powered cause I hate feral cats / dogs more then any other feral pest in the bush and a rapid explosive death is both effective and very humane.

Yes, the wounds can look messy, but the shock with explosive wounds causes instant death. It's instant and humane. And (unlike some here) I wouldn't be worried about meat damage as I wouldn't eat them

I'm looking at trying a chicken feeder full of cheep dry cat food soon.
