    Way to go.
    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms

    I am by default, since we got rid of the rats etc we have loads of little pheasant, brown and Cali quail chicks running round the park at the moment, neat little guys.

    Have 100 odd in the brooders doing well, eggs in the incubator due to hatch early december. Saw a young hen in the garden this afternoon with a wild brood of at least 5 so hopefully a few more of the young hens we released here will also have chicks provided the neighbours cats dont find them first.

    a live capture trap is the best iv found, works when you are sleeping nice bit of fish or cat biscuits in there and bobs you uncle.

    then a lead pill,

    I make an active attempt to not catch the nabours cats by not trapping the boundry near the houses but we live in an area known for dumping of cats by "locals".
    243 also works well for the daytime ones
    they catch on quick so they become quite challenging targets

    I dont target the well cared for friendly neighbourhood cat but the mob of rampantly breeding ferals next door get a swift kind farewell often the best level of care they have had their whole existence.
