While I was out hunting this morning.....

While I was out hunting this morning, my wife had a bird encounter. We live in-town, be it a small town, but several blocks into town. This morning she decided to open the bedroom window as it air seemed a bit "stale". Once opened, she hears a rooster crow. She looks out the window as a rooster pheasant flies out of a hazelnut bush in the back yard and a big cat comes out from under it as this happened. To add to this, she says squirrels starts chattering at the cat, giving it heck. We have had fox, deer, ducks, skunks, coons and opossums, but no pheasants that I am aware of. Interesting morning for my honey.

Side note, it looks like the birds in the tri-county area will get a break from me tomorrow, as I need to do a bit of a drive to check-out some used rear tires for the tractor.

Stray/feral cats are responsible for billions (yes, billions) of bird deaths world wide. An extensive study was done on this about 10 years ago.

Every single one should be eliminated.

Hunters are responsible for more! Should they be eliminated, including you?

 

[gim]

So that's what this forum is coming to, huh? Killing other hunters?

Classy response

 

[mlmich@pldi.net]

No, but I had to come back hard to get your attention! Leave the feral cats and other creatures alone if your not shooting them for food. Makes no sense.

Really?? Same go for mosquitos, termites, fleas and ticks? Feral cats are a huge problem that’s man made!

Boys- boys- boys. Take deep breathe and stop throwing stones
Feral cats may be man made but so are pheasants
Without introduction by men you would have to travel to china to hunt them
Pour yourself 2 fingers and chill

good idea!

It is about responsible pet ownership. Cats are very efficient killers. All dairy farms have them and most farms have them. Most farms you hunt on probably have them too. It is a big problem with no humane solution.

That's right you don't do anything like that, that's really bad karma.

But you conveniently ignore the "problem" aspect. Feral cats waste an enormous amount of wild birds while having absolutely ZERO redeeming value. Pheasants and the hunting of them bring joy to many thousands of people.

This guy weighed over 3 pounds and will be dinner tomorrow night.

The study said billions in North America, not the world. Cats kill for fun. If they are outside they are fair game.

Now that's a cock!

I shoot feral cats on sight no quarter asked and none given. And that is a Booner of a bird.
