Im wondering something about the original post and many of the responses. The OP worded the question to specify rural areas. I grew up in a very rural area and there were no feral cat “problems” that we were not the cause of.....and eventually the solution to as well.
What I mean is I lived in farmland country for 20 years and never would say there was a generalized feral cat problem around where I was or around where any of our acquaintances were.
Now I live in an urban area and I would absolutely say there is a feral cat problem here. I’m curious if the OP is aware of this problem as well. There is a bigger cat problem in cities than the countryside I say.
When I moved here I had a nice stack of 22 rifles that could take shorts. Remington 572s and Winchester 270s. I no longer wanted so many 22 pumps so i started putting them up for sale. Without exception, the first question asked about them were how well they shot Shorts. It didn’t take a genius to know they planned to shoot something out of their back door and didn’t want to make any noise.
There is a pretty ridiculous cat problem in the cities here. There are entire non-profits set up that take donations and fund raise just to control the cat population. The Hilton Head/Bluffton area is worse yet than where I am at.
