Here’s Diamond now after just killing and eating another rat, on the carpet of course.

That cat looks like my cats except the mom, Meadow, is fat and the daughter, Diamond, has a big white diamond on her back.

I have one cat that goes outside a lot and is a good hunter. Her mom can’t hunt at all and she never goes outside. The mom is a lap kitty , but the daughter doesn’t even like to be picked up or held. You might wind up with a cat that can’t hunt. It’s a learned behavior and a lot of cats raised...

She seems better now. The weather here just changed so it’s colder outside than inside the house most of the day. She’s been mostly outside the past six months. Now she’s inside again and adjusting to temps cooler than she’s used to. Also being around my dogs, who always used to get along with...

My cat has been acting weird today. Loudly meowing and spitting up small amounts of clear liquid. She’s energetic though. Being way more affectionate than normal.

It was a fairly small mouse. She ate it in less than thirty seconds while I was out of the room, so I guessed she swallowed it whole, but IDK for sure. But I’ve watched her chew the head off a large rat and swallow the head whole, and the head was at least twice the size of that mouse. It...

Yeah I had a Persian that, as most Persians do eventually, got a fatal case of the c word. There’s so much cation about even handling these pellets, like we have to wash our hands afterwards, that I was concerned about even a small amount of exposure, especially for such a small animal.

So my cat likes to bring its game inside through the doggy door and play with it. Mice, rats, voles, snakes, etc. Sometimes the game gets away. Today she took a very spunky mouse into my carpeted home office and played with it. Catch, release, repeat. It kept climbing up table legs and getting...

Thanks for explaining that.

I have rhino targets. My understanding is that the target must be guaranteed not to fall at less than 20 fpe unless the bull is struck, in which case 12 fpe must be enough to cause it to fall. I figured it was pretty close to 12 fpe, but if it’s much less, that’s fine. Do you think my 4 fpe...

With a little research, I think the TX200 springer is what I’m looking for. It seems to be the top model for springer category FT, and it can be a backup FT rifle for me when my Thomas is in the shop or if I bring a friend to a FT match. Rifles like the Nova Freedom are always tempting...

You know I think there’s a springer class for field target. I had forgotten. I’ll check that subforum.

I haven’t been able to find lead free .177 pellets in more than about 7 or 8 grains. At that weight, I’d need 1000+ FPS to rise above 12 fpe. Is there a single stroke air rifle that can do that? I don’t think my Avanti will do it.

It’s tough for me to get a fill right now for my pcp rifles. Lately I’ve mostly been enjoying my red rider and co2 guns in my backyard that shoot dust devil BBs. I don’t want to litter my yard with lead for the sake of my pets, so the dust devils are it. No pellets. I have some field targets I...

I think I got a lot of European starlings and grackles at my feeder last time I had it out. Are those birds inedible for some reason?

Texas allows hunting of unprotected birds on private land as follows: Unprotected Birds Birds not protected by any state or federal law include European starlings, English sparrows (house sparrow), feral rock doves (common pigeon), Egyptian geese, Muscovy ducks (only outside Rio Grande Valley...

I’m trying to learn some survival skills, and local public land designated for hunting varmints requires me to use a shotgun. I think I can use an airgun in my backyard to hunt birds over bait. I’m in north Texas, and we have a pretty wide variety of birds. I’m thinking of putting out a bird...

I second the suggestion of the Diana RWS Model 34, and I see them on Amazon for only $205, so you won’t need to up your budget much, and you may find them cheaper elsewhere. The Diana is one of those legends that floats near the top of most all top 10 lists for rifles in this category. Just...

The Steyr Pro X bull pup semiauto air rifle has a ten shot rotary magazine. Kind of hard to google as Steyr makes firearms with rotary magazines. https://hardairmagazine.com/news/new-pcps-at-the-2019-iwa-show/

When I lived in Detroit, I recall a lot of hunters complaining that they were only allowed to hunt deer with shotguns.
