The best looking cat that I have ever seen.

How is Ky these days?

My father and his partner lived in Tonny until he died last year, so I have had a few beers in Ky over the years

G'day all
Thanks for the kind words quite proud of this one !!
serious thinking of just hunting with A/R !!! had the .22lr and the .204R there and never got them out of the case ??


G'day Chris L
mate, ky is getting to be a very busy little town !!

Very nice puss puss, those colours would make a great "cat-hat". Bring on the Davie Crocket!

regards,

Karve.

Talking of cat hats, how do you actually make them? Do you put a band on the inside to make the shape?
Sorry to hi jack the post
Cheers,
Peter

I haven't tried as yet, but I have seen one that was stitched (very rough job) out of a couple of tanned skins. Have to say, loved the look of the tail at the back - hence 'Davie Crocket'

I'll have to get the cruiser back on the road as there was a decent popluation in the crown land about an hour from my place where I used to hunt. One really big, black bugger with a beautiful jet-black pelt. Unfortunately I couldn't get close enough for a shot with the .22LR but I know where the bugger lives!

Hmmmm.....here puss puss

Good one there HB, did the slug take the cat out cleanly?

Nice shooting Hair Bear

One less moggie and the worlds a smidge nicer to live in

G'day 7mmmag
how are you ?
mate the kill was clean !!
been up to my mates dairy , when he asked if i could fix a cat problem in his hay shed , Well you can't refuse to help
was told he had three mongrel cats , two black and white and one ginger moggie ,just leave me one was the order , not a problem !!!
well i found a nice spot to hide in the machinery shed , and as i watched the hay shed ,out pop one, the ginger one ! slinked across the large hay bale and disappeared down a crack between the next bale !! and so it went with said three cats slinking and running from bale to bale !!
Hmmm ?? i can't get a good shot with the R9 at these running targets , need to think about this , so went for a wander around the rest of the dariy , and some sparrows and starlings feeding in a trough !! bugger it will give these some flying lessons with the jbs !! while i think
keeping a eye on the hay shed , from about 80 metres !! still see these cats runnig round
as the sun settled , noticed one cat settling down for a snooze on top of a hay bale , and taught this is the one , gave it about 10-15 minutes to settle right down and began my stalk
at about 20 metres and theback of the cats head nice and steady in the cross hairs , off went the litle .20 cal pellet , on its mission to make me proud !! that lovely thwak !!! sound we all love to hear !!! but no movement ???? did i hit the cat ?? whats going on ??? cock the gun load another pellet , bring to the shoulder , sight up cat , and it rolls over , no second shot , no twitching ??
lets check this out ? walk over and inspect my prize
well ,warm , limp and a leak right in the back off the head where the head meets the spin
so to answer the clean kill question , mate i wasin doubt that i actually hit it , but i did
two more weeks and will be back there for that ginger one !!!
