Mr. Buchanan wanted a thread about shooting something.
Well I shot a post. Minutes before the post shooting, I was working in the garage. Out across the yard strolled this big yellow tomcat.
I have a pile of sand back there for masonry projects. Recently some cat had been using it as a litter box. Whatever cat has been using it, thought he was such a stud burying the deposit was not required.
Anyway this cat was strolling away from the sand pile tail in the air, like he owned the place.
So out comes an air gun. By the time the gun was unlimbered the cat was out of sight behind a shed.
I had no intention of shooting the cat, but just intended to send him on his way. So I shot the post near where he was last seen.
Quiet for a few seconds, then the cat burst into view, running full out, with a very brushy tail standing straight up.
Maybe this is where the term "hightailing it" comes from.
The cat was going to cross an opening, so quickly working the bolt, I sent him another one.
Unlike a coyote, he did not have another gear to slip into as a pellet hit behind him.
Anyway, pretty funny sight.
