So, I was thinking. South Dakota allows us to shoot feral cats ('wild cats'), and as I'm both not terribly fond of cats (they poo and pee in our garden, the stinkers!), they're one of the most destructive species out there to small game (birds, rabbits), breed faster than rabbits, carry lots of nasty diseases, and look like they'd make a decent target - why not? The feral hog thread got me thinking about it.
Only problem: I have no idea how to go about hunting them. The only remotely pertinent thing I could find was Buckstix's martar cat hunting which is a bit over the top (and likely quite illegal, but still funny) - I'm thinking .223 or something, anyway.
He seems to suggest bating them with milk, and spritzing the surrounding area to create a scent. This seems reasonable.
Any thoughts on the matter?
