Cat food Bandit got a pass today and got released at the Mt Vernon water reservoir. Mainly because i had to go up there and pick up my chain saw and because he didn't tear up my cage.

I knew I had him when I rounded the curve 250 yards away and Otis the Cat was there to tell me HE had caught the **** last night. Meow, Meow, Meow, Meow, talk, talk, talk. I got him...

What is it that Doug Kruske calls them??? Porch Monkeys? or is that the other kind>>>

Here's a photo of Otis the Kat. Johnny Cash had a song called "Mean Eyed Cat." this describes him to a T, but he has tamed down a lot from what he was.

That is sure a "Mean Eyed Cat". The raccoon, on the other hand, looks like he's saying "I'm sorry, man. I promise it will never happen again".

I tried taking trapped ***** five miles down the road and dumping them, but they'd beat me home.

Now I just pick up the trap, put it in the truck and take it down the road, then out in the boonies I stick the muzzle of a .22 thru the cage and shoot the danged things. So far, I'm up to about 20. Same bait, cat food. I'm feeding about eight cats, and a few ***** makes that untenable. I popped one this morning, in fact.

Cat looks like it is PO'd big time. Another reason I don't have cats around the house.

JR, how does Otis and Bouncer get along, or are they ever together???
Love tha cats. LDS

This very conversation came up the other day with Corey, Mike, Doug & Zac.

Trash Panda was the name used. Corey devirginized a new Remington 870 on the Trash Panda he found trying to escape a trap next to his chicken coop. Word is the **** will never attempt to escape again & is unlikely to steal any more chicken eggs.

There’s an endless supply

As long as there is a food source, they just keep on coming. Seems that I only get juveniles and small females in the cage traps and have to rely on the leg traps to get the bigguns.

Speaking of trash-eating varmints......Have you seen any bears down there on your place?

 

[JRinKY]

Carl, I have not seen any Bear here, but several other people have. I am not in the woods as much anymore, but I am surprised that I have not seen one yet.

LDS, The Bouncer and Otis Have met....did not go well as Bouncer absolutely Hates other Tomcats. Otis's house is across the creek and about a half mile away as the crow flies, but I have never seen him over here. I think the Creek stops him.

Glen, 5 miles is not near enough. When I do release one alive its 15 miles away.

I just caught one leaving the shed where I feed the cats, I knew there was one around because the cats never clean up all their food and tip over the feed pans.
He won't be coming back! We had a talk and I'm sure he got my message! 20gauge in the light of my flashlite message.
GOD BLESS. Dean

Yeah, Ami and I have a "love/hate" kind of opinion RE the 'trash bandits".

They're cute, but we have a German Shepard that patrols the yard, and absolutely WILL NOT back off, once he gets his nose clawed by "whatever"!

They gotta keep their distance - respect Thor's territory or fact the consequences...
