Go the cats!

[_Gina_]

Finally managed to get some shots of the cats nailing some bunnies! :)

Charlie, our "boss", has being going hard lately, and is in competition with the neighbours big boy, apparently he has caught around 30 bunnies this season.

:D

[Colapop]

Go the cats - only if they've been killing those bunnies

[_Gina_]

Yeah, living in the country with livestock, you see the destruction that bunnies empart on your land, the .22 is always handy, certainly don't want the cow and horses breaking their legs in farkin bunny holes!

[Colapop]

Damn straight! I'm not keen on rabbits. I used to use the .222, a scope and silencer. Just sit back and watch the little f*ckers drop (the other little buggers had no idea what was happening to their mate Thumper!)

My all time favouraite about farm life is the townies that don't understand the relationship between Daisy and steak! Farms are for food.

I hit a bunny with a 270 one time
(red mist) the dogs were stumped

[_Gina_]

the dogs were stumped
*smiles*

I can sooo imagine the scene.

:)

[Gwinch]

For lean, mean wildlife killing machines they're positively darling. :)

[Clivoris]

That's my kind of pussies.

[Clockwork]

S'funny, the neighbourhood cats have stopped coming into our garden since we let the rabbit have the run of it. I guess once the rabbits get past a certain age/size the cats must turn into pussies.

A 9.3mm Mauser doesn't leave much either!!

Hmmm, that's why when I'm out rabbit shooting any cat I see gets a bullet too - they're murder on ground-nesting birds, skinks etc - not just rabbits.

Never had a farmer ask me if I've seen Tibby when I've been shooting so there must be a shitload of wild/stray cats out there.:yes:

[frogfeaturesFZR]

I was hunting in the Kawaka Ranges ( behind Napier ) over christmas and saw more feral cats than deer. Bugger all rabbits though !

[wybmadiity]

:niceone: ... Go the killer cats ;)

[Clivoris]

Hey g.g. Do you lock them up over easter to minimise the risk of non-egg delivery?

I am so jealous, my two burmese just sit there and make friends with the damn things - maybe too well loved? Can I borrow your cats - mine need mentoring.

[imdying]

Apparently cats and humans are the only two animals that kill for pleasure!

[James Deuce]

Also revenge.

Ever seen what a ferret can do to a whole lot of chooks in a run in one night???

Or dogs to a paddock of sheep?

[Fishy]

I love shooting bunnies, sittin on the back deck with a beer and the .22 and nail the little suckers as they hop on by.

Wow, killing animals sounds like a whole lotta fun - not

I live rural and realize certain culling has to be done....but to actually take delight in it? Now thats a whole different story

[Fishy]

Yep I live rural as well and I love killing... If it moves, shoot it.

[Gwinch]

Sorry GG, I just absolutely have to add this one.

Bunnies, stoats, goats, deer, pigs, feral cats, dogs, possums. All fair game if in an area where they are pests.

No qualms about killing.

3 million years of evolution and only the last 100 where we havent killed or grown our own food.

[KATWYN]

No qualms about killing.

...but do you enjoy it.........

[Disco Dan]

Thats horid! The poor rabbits!

[imdying]

Thats horid! The poor rabbits!
Pffft, those rabbits were gagging for it :yes:

[Dai]

...but do you enjoy it.........

I enjoy the hunt, I enjoy the skill employed in the hunt. As to the killing, never bothered me. At the time it is just a target, afterwards it is just a carcass of some sort.

What I dont enjoy is causing unnessary suffering through me not being accurate enough and not killing outright.

[_Gina_]

I would not go to the bother of finding bunnies to kill, or anything else for that matter.

I draw the line at them digging burrows on our two acres and my Horse, Cow or Pony breaking it's leg somwhere and having to be put down or rehabilated (at my cost I may add)

So I don't care if they live on someone elses land, just not mine.

[scumdog]

What I dont enjoy is causing unnessary suffering through me not being accurate enough and not killing outright.

Same here, enjoy the hunting but dread ever not making a clean kill - or worse, an animal getting away after being shot.

[Lou Girardin]

Apparently cats and humans are the only two animals that kill for pleasure!

Can you explain how you know that?
Our cats eat what they kill, but dogs don't eat their various kills. Have you seen what they'll do to a mob of sheep?
Oh well, back to your copy of "Most popular urban myths"

[Krusti]

Hey g.g. Do you lock them up over easter to minimise the risk of non-egg delivery?

I remember when I was a little boy my parents used to house swap with my Aunty and Uncle from Manurewa. Mum and Dad stayed in town and Aunty & Uncle used to look after us on the farm.

It was Easter and in the morning my cousin came running in saying Easter Bunny was caught in the trap!

We went out and there was this possum in the cage. Uncle asks, "What would your Dad do?"

I reply, " open the door and shoot him."

The only gun in the house was Grandads old hammer action shotgun.

Uncle opens cage door, possum walks out, Uncle aims, pulls trigger and CLICK.

Possum runs away!

Forgot to tell him it only fired every few shots.

Every time I remind Dad of this story we smile and think......"Townies!"

Had a flemmish giant rabbit as a pet,
as soon as he got bigger than the cats they stopped trying to catch him
after that when it got too hot both the cats and the rabbit would all
go to sleep in a big pile or chase each other around.
(funny thing was he hated some types of cars subarus & bmws)
He was more like a dog than a cat or rabbit

[Biff]

I hate cats. Murdering, selfish little shit machines.

Killing rabbits is cool though.

Dogs rule.

I thought I'd share that with you.

[_Gina_]

Thought I would ask you Biff -

What is a Bulgarian Swamp Donkey Jockey?

[crashe]

Thought I would ask you Biff -

You most probably and most likely won't want to know what it is......:rofl:


But I bet Biff will come up with a picture of what it is anyways..... :whistle:

Hmmmmm, thats got more then a sniff of bullshit about it, thats like the one about the insects that have prehensile penises...no wait thats actually true

[_Gina_]

LOL

Nah, our cats are loved like there is no tomorrow, get the best of all things thats for sure, so it can't be that!

I think it is just the luck of the draw really!
