Plus there's children in the woods playing. This isn't November deer season where people are wearing hunter orange. The chances of stray bullets hitting a kid increases. And feral cats can hang around domestic structures. Bullets flying through the kitchen window isn't appealing to me.

The obvious solution to stray bullets is for hunters to use a 12-gauge shotgun -- the pellets don't travel very far.

Well, there's always a BB Gun or a Super Soaker!

A .410 would be even better, fewer pellets to fly around, or a .44 mag with shot shells might work too. Actually I hate to see cats being shot. I have a huge group of black birds(starlings to some people) around here and cats do a fair job of keeping them down.

Every other day I have to wash my vehicles because of bird crap, and not just a little, but gops of it.These birds are protected by law, so I can't shoot them. Birds carry deseases and spread them around. What's so hot about birds that this guy wants to kill cats for them? I like birds and cats, but if I had to choose between being over run with cats or birds, I would choose the cats!

I have yet to see a cat climb on my car and take a dump!
