FPE for a Farm cat.
I can shoot .25 Kodiaks @ 1050fps, 43gr EJ’s @ 980fps, and Jerry’s seven rings @ 830fps. I want this cat to die instantly. Should I even try with my Condor or use something else? This cat is using my house as a litter box. When I started the remodel I found 10-15 gallons of shit in the attic. Now that it cant get up there anymore it uses the front step. So it is going to die, and I have many ways to shoot it, but only one thats silent. Other options are anywhere from .22-.50cal.

Surround the farm perimeter with lion urine. http://www.predatorpee.com/
Borrow a friend’s dog that has a penchant for chasing anything on four legs. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rottweiler
Trap it and take it to the local animal shelter. http://www.havahart.com/store/live-animal-traps/1099
Use a 12 guage shot gun with #5 shot and shoot it at 15yards or less. If you aim just right you can kill the cat and plow up enough dirt to bury it in one shot 😀
Tag,
Hypotheticaly I’m thinking a 10ga or .50cal Beowulf. Haven’t see it in a couple of days, maybe the coyotes solved my problem.
The blue tipped rounds are slugs, which only develop about 40,000fpe. If you look around, you may be able to get ahold of a HE or incendiary round you should be able to kill it.
And anything within 20 yards around it. 🙂
I was very close to getting that 20mm. My remodel is getting too expensive to get it now. I called Mike at Anzio and he seems very helpful in getting the transaction all set up, where other class II dealers barely gave me the time of day. Hopefully when the house is done.
Na , do your cropping the night before trash day. just drop them in the bag at the curb and all is good the next morning when the bag and all is off to the land fill.

Dropping the trap in a body of water for a short time works as well.
Get caught doing that though and you are really screwed. 😆
Trap it then either drop it off at the SPCA or muffler it. Shooting it could be touchy in the city.

The one on the left should kill it without needing a follow up shot.

Do not shoot the cat with your airgun. Even if you and two friends shoot simultaniously hitting it between the eyes,thru the heart and rip its femural artery, it will still manage to run off to the nearest tree hugging,animal worshiping nieghbor you have and scratch your address in the dirt right before it dies in their flower garden 😯

Tag,
I have a tuned High-Flo, TH appears to be .086″ if I’m measuring right, and power wheel 12. Also have a 95 gram Hammer w/stock spring. I have a Drum spring on the way, gonna see what that does for me.
I don’t know Tron, they are a lot harder to kill than they used to be. Maybe a 25mm Bushmaster?
I recommend a .577 T-Rex.
those furry critters are very durable. i have only had .177 for them until the condor .22,so head shots were the only option.
the M 48 rws would drop them , with death dance.on head shot, or sometimes with straight forward shot the pellets would mushroom out and not penetrate, about 23 yards was furthest shot with the 177.
I have knocked them out before , laying still and no movement what so ever.and had them get up and walk away.
so if you hit one and it drops with no movement , no death dance then you might ought to hurry up and get another one in him.
Those big toms have very thick skulls.
I think the 22 condor will dispatch even with the light pellets way better than any 177.
i haven’t had the chance to try it yet. I do know that a 9.5 grain 177 at 850fps will bury up into a 1/2” piece of plywood at 50 yards ,were a 15 grain 22 at 850 will go completely thou it.
I think the condor at 950 fps with the 15 to 21 grain pellets would be enough for heart lung shots on these size critters.
Haha that’s funny I was plinking on Saturday and the neighbor told me to “put one in” the black cat hanging around if I see it. I saw it but before he offered. Assman what’s your specs on firing the 7 rings at that speed? TH, PW, etc…? I can’t push them in barrel with out deforming them to where the slide in the breech back and forth about an inch. 6 rings worked for me though.
Even non PETA types can get touchy about dealing with problematic furrey little creatures.
For many years the ranching community has used a solution for livestock predation.

When you do let me know because I want to drive up there and shoot it!!! 🙂
