Dog at dusk - staffys and foxy's, russels etc that are trained

Tess treed or killed 80 + despite her harmless appearance

@Moa Hunter is that on doc land that she gets ‘em?
Pretty good kill streak.

What would a trained doc typically do? Flush them out?

Normally tear them to pieces.

My old man has a big black standard poodle. It is a lean mean cat and possum murderer. I'm quite fond of him...

Mean and Poodle just don’t go in the same sentence.. but this is probably an exception haha

Yeah, I know the full sized Poodle is a great dog, but mate, ya gotta do something about that name!

" Wanna go hunting mate?"

"Yeah, great idea. I'll bring my poodle along"

"Err, second thoughts, lets go to the pub"

Yup, Definitely time to relinquish the man card

Tree them until the 22 is presented for last rights ceremony

Had a boxer/rhodesian ridgeback cross. Was a bit of a sensitive soul, but turned into a raging freak whenever she sighted a cat. And that was from a puppy. Nothing we did to her to make her that way.

Anywho, she used to trundle along glued to my side when I push biked to and from work. One day we biked past a 'cat lady's place who used to put free cat tucker out for stray moggies. Dog instantly turns into Mr Hyde: cats make for nearest tree. Dog zooms up tree just as easily as cats, breaks two necks and throws them out of the tree before I can blink and call her off. Rest of the cats get out so far along various skinny branches that they do a good impression of Hunter McDonald on the Len Lye windchime pole in Wellington. Trots back to my side proud as punch

I shot one in the upper reaches of the Makino this time last year, at least 7 hrs walk from the nearest road.

There’s more of those little bastards out there than you would ever think.

Shot 13 on the one rural farm last year. Only 4 this year. Also shot 745 rabbits ( last year)on the same 400 acres so plentiful food for the cats. All fat with several litters running with Mum. Farmer wants them shot to reduce the risk of ewes aborting.

they had it coming...

There are literally wild cats everywhere and more of them than most people realize !!

Only good cat is a dead one if you ask me

These would be two of the most effective traps to use on cats

1. Trusty old cage trap



2. The Steve Allen Cat kill trap
(set and forget, take no prisoners trap this one)
