Watch it fellas. When i suggested shootingcats that are roving around and killing small game on other people's land,i caught all kinds of hell. Apparently, there are some people here who are more interested in letting cats do what they wantthan small game management.The one thing that i did learn on a trip home to Illinois this past weekend is that the .17 hmr is a marvelous cat gun. My new motto is that there is no such thing as a tame/pet cat more than 300 yards from any given house. Happy hunting[8D]
