I have a livetrap in the backyard for catching "city vermin". It has been sitting open, unbaited for most of summer as dispatching urban rodentia is more of a winter sport. This morning the wife wakes me up to angrily report that there is a stinky striped cat in the live trap, dont let the dog out there and get rid of it. Now I have 2 options, A)Shoot it. I have a .22, a .22WMR, a .38 and .44 carbine, and a 12ga. available, but only the .22 is scoped. I dont really want to shoot it unless I can drop it with out it spraying, and I live in town, so I will have to shoot it from the kitchen window. It has a heavy backdrop of logs. My research shows spraying after shooting to be a 50/50 situation, with the best chances on a heart or spine shot. Not good odds and hard to do with a rolled up stinkbag and a 4x scope. Or B) pay the local nuisance eradicator $50 to deal with it tomorrow, which ruins my plans of yardwork today and I have a dog that cant hold her piss forever, and will immediately run straight to it if I let her out. She LOVES the striped cats. Any serious suggestions?
