    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.

    @Pointer had to take drastic action to avoid being a home wrecker to a hen in Minginui in the weekend.
    From his actions i would say i would have been happily stoved into a bank as passenger than him hitting the chicks! " the future" he exclaimed once all were accounted for

    Funny how we will swerve to hit a rabbit, but risk passengers life and limbs for a hen and a few poults!

    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
