2 million is just scraping the top. The state I live is ”estimated” to have around 5 million feral cats. That’s at least 15 million small critters predated on by this menace each day.
A few years back, they got a bunch of Army shooters in to help. It was some pretty remote semi desert type...
Well said. Folks struggle to make that distinction / separation between feral and domestic.
These things breed like wild fire and will quickly decimate native and non native birds, lizards, snakes etc. They are a very adaptive predator.
Love it!! If it’s feral it’s in peril. They are #1 hit list for me in Oz. Would pass up shooting many species to take a feral cat out. Like Grizzly said, they are “field lions”. One property I hunt on, awards a 6 pack to any feral cat taken.
Say if you have a million or so feral cats in state...
Going back through some old pics from when I was much younger and found this gem. It was from 1986 well before the digital age, so took a phone pic of original. We originally had ideas of trapping these hogs. Looking on the ground while setting up a trap, I asked the property owner if he had...
Yeh barramundi (barra) are great on fly. I’ve used as light as an 8wt but generally use a 10wt. My buddies curse me when I break out the fly rod - they reckon that’s what makes the wind blow stronger.
US$350 for MT fall non resident bear tag - I have an unfilled one from September adventure. I had an afternoon tracking a BIG boar up and over a a ridge - I called it a mountain but the locals called it a ridge. Made it very easy in the 3 inches of snow on the ground. Never did catch up to him...
So little is known about the species and i believe the outfitter / operator practices catch and release. They do keep some of the other species to give to villagers. Plenty of pelagic and coral reef species options with this trip.
Would love to chase Peacocks. I do enjoy top water fishing and...
Another for SKB.
Did Canada last year and Montana this year with no casualties.
I dI’d have a heavy duty Plano model BUT it weighed near 22lb before I put anything in it - that sucks up a heap of your luggage allowance. My SKB weighs in at half that.
On crocodile or alligator, the top of head can’t be skinned like normal animals. The skin is very thin here and full or sensors. The cleaned skulls look cool on the top side, with thousands of pits in the bone.
Nice tanning job on that one Stay Sharp and double thumbs up for spot and stalk.
One on my bucket list items for many years has been the Papua New Guinea (PNG) Black Bass. While sampling several cold beers with a fishing mate a month or so ago, it was decided we would DO IT!. This was in itself, flying in tha face of danger by not consulting wives and partners. I was quick...
The drought is hitting very hard in a lot a places close by. Some towns are trucking water in because they have run out or about to run out. Driving out of one of these towns a few weeks ago into this storm. I thought I was going to get smashed by hail and heavy rain, filling people water tanks...
