I have laxed off the Kitty Patrols in the last few months having dealt with the primary "problem" cats in my neighborhood. And since I'm not having to man the sniper hides at 2 am anymore I have had more time to read. Currently I am reading Marine Sniper about Carlos Hathcock. And the book has definitely gotten me 'motivated."  Well at 5am this morning my wife and I were awoken by 2 cats fighting under our window. I have dubbed them "The Apache" and "The Frenchman", my sector is again active.  Time to load up the super colibris and start my crawl. |

Move swift and silent oh cat sniper, for the Frenchman and the Apache are undoubtedly lying in wait for their chance to become the hunters not the hunted!!! It’s a trap!!!! ___________________________________________________________________________________ Welcome to the Low Dow Broke A$$ Show. Oh yeah and Save a cow eat 3.14159265  |

SITREP: As I was preparing the wife woke up and asked me the usual stupid wife questions... Why are you up at almost 3am? Why are you dressed in camo? Why do you have a gun? Nag, nag, nag. Sure she complains when the cats wake her up but when her husband tried to correct the problem she only complains more. Got outside and began moving from hide to hide. Spotted the local po po on patrol and noted the unit and time in my operations log. After checking Hide #2 I spotted "The Frenchman" within 5 minutes but was still so rattled by the wifes tirade I hadn't relaxed and rushed the shot. For those wondering I overshot it but did wait until it passed a suitable background to account for any errant round. 5 minutes later I noticed "The Frenchman" crossing an open field but it was approx. 180m away and well out of effective SC range. The Frenchman: 2 Me: 0 Another target of opportunity did present itself, one of those obnoxious cars with a loud ass stereo booming at 3 am down the street but I didn't have a clean enough shot without homes in the background so I had to let it pass with it's paintjob undinged.  Hoping for better luck tommarow. |
Using a unspecified .22 rifle with super colibris and a NV scope. |
Actually in initial engagements I have a discouragement doctrine and take non lethal 'discouraging' shots at distance to see if I can motivate the felines to adopt new playgrounds. Basically a shot to the hindquaters. |
I had a feeling that you would go for the ass shot, but I didnt want to say anything.

Don't you have somewhere else to be? This is an adventure that is being embarked upon.....one of the oldest adventures in history: MAN vs. SABERTOOTH KIBBY!!! If you don't like it.....don't read it! |
| I have some racoons that keep knocking our trash cans over. One night I am going to post on the roof with my AR and yes I will shoot the damn thing. Don't care, city limits or not. I'm tired of cleaning up after these fuckers. Thing just may end up "trying to attack me" |
Don't forget the throw down! ETA WTF IS GOING ON HERE!?! I posted. You quoted me. Now I am on the second page? |
I'll write a short story about my "hunt" titled "Death From Above" |

02/08/05 News: A man with a gun was shot by police , his wounds were not life threatening. The police were responding to a report of russeling bushes and poping sounds. While checking out the report the officers spotted a man wearing camo and ducking in and out of bushes. WHen the officers confronted the suspect he was holding a small weapon and after an altercation he was shot by the officers. The mans mental state is in question. A lookyloo heard the man saying damn frenchman, Damn apache as he was being loaded into the ambulance.

I have one of the old Benjamin .177 pellet guns and I've found that 5 pumps and a shot to the rump does wonders for feline discouragement. Hell, one time in the dark I even got my own cat. I prefer the less-than-lethal approach also, but I have one in my 'hood-a male-that's come into my garage a sprayed a few things.  His time is limited.
