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