I'd already forgotten about this thread, but it reminded me of something that happened about a week ago.

My son had a stray tomcat that had been peeing on the hood of his pickup at night. It had gotten into the fresh air vent. You can imagine how nice that was.

He bought a live trap and caught the stinking stray. I drove up to his shop that morning and saw it in the trap. He asked me to shoot it as he released it from the live trap. I replied that I only had a Wingmaster with a 34" trap barrel in the truck, and with it's tight choke I might miss. He laughed and said to give it a rip.

All I had was 8s but got ready and pre mounted. The big tom streaked out like a blur but I caught up with him and, well, let's just say he never knew what hit him.

Immensely satisfying. If there's anything I dislike more than a stray cat I don't know what it is yet.


May God bless America and those who defend her.
