Went shooting in my back garden last night

 

TIME: 10 - 11

GUN: HW80

GAME: Cats

 

Ive been baiting my garden up for rats recently. Ive been using a top bait called whiskers which the old bloke in the fishing shop told me was the bollocks for rats. Each morning ive been finding the bait is gone so i decided on a visual last night once my mum had gone to bed. I put my urban camo on which i got from the market and checked the batteries in my maglite were full. Before i started shooting i went downstairs and got some crips and coke for the oppo so i didnt need to move when i got hungry or needed a drink.

 

I must of waited about 10 minutes before i spotted some eyes down the end of the garden. Ive not got a scope so i placed the open sights in between the eyes like my mate does when he goes foxing. I was really excited because this was my first rat but i controlled my breathing has a guzzle of my pop and squeezed the trigger. Then i heard a scream........ SHIT it was a cat :icon_redface::icon_redface: . I ran downstairs and done it round the nut with the first thing i could grab which was a tennis racket. Job done. I did feel a bit guilty at first but then i thought well cats kill rats so really im just protecting my future sport :D .

 

I put out a bit more bait and after 20 mins or so i could hear movement from near the shed :icon_eek::icon_eek::icon_eek: . I carefully reloaded with a copper pellet that i found inbetween the cracks of my patio which ive been saving for a special occasion. I scanned the area with my torch and spotted some eyes again. I decided to wait this time because i didnt want to kill another cat. The one i previously shot was laying next to me on my bedroom floor and it f*****g stunk like... well a cat i suppose.

 

About a minute past and the eyes came towards the bait. I could see it was another cat only difference being this was one big ginger one. I threw caution to the wind and popped this one just below the ear and in line with the eye. I know that is where you shoot rabbits, so i guess the same applied to cats. Any way this one dropped to the floor so i ran down and grabbed it. I carried it back to my hide/bedroom and it was going skit kicking around and the claws kept coming out and in of its toes. I put it down next to the other one and after a minute or so it stopped having a fit but then it pissed on my carpet :laugh::laugh:

 

Time was getting on now so i planned another 10 minutes. 2 cats started having a bit of a do in my garden, proper going at each other. They wouldnt stand still so i shot one running. I didnt miss it but i only got it in the back leg so it ran off screaming like id just give it one :sick:

 

Any ways that was my evening shooting. I enjoyed it because i love the outdoors even if it is just having a window open in my bedroom. Ill upload a pic later of the cats. I heard you should dress game straight away so i took their collars off and legged them together ready for the pot :) RESULT.

You wanna pray the cats owner never finds out, or you will get hung out to dry pal, shooting out of the house window is a big no, no as well (unless you got a decent bit of land) usually less than the legal distance from paths and roads (firearms offence), shooting animals that are moving with a sub 12ftlb air rifle is just pure cruel as well, your parents should know better than to let you own a gun IMHO, atb Richard

 

PS, the rule of thumb is if you cannot identify your quarry clearly don't pull the trigger

 

PPS, I hope you don't get to offended when the goverment bans airguns cos its lads like you that will get them banned!

 

PPPS, I really hope this is a joke (and if so fair play, not the best idea to post on a hunting forum though) if not you truly are a first class muppet
