Substitute target
Was out in the Crooked River National Grasslands shooting sage rats. Had the 6mmBr settled down in the bags and was carefully lining up a potential shot on a large sage rat on top of a high mound. Watching him through the 6.5x20 Leupold I was just about to squeeze the trigger when he disappeared in a blurr of black and white. Grabbed my binoculars to see what had just happened 200 yards away when I saw a stinking cat muching on my intended target. Since he was eating my target I decided that the cat would make a good substitute target. Swung the 6mmBr into positon and centered the crosshairs on his shoulder area. Didn't see any collar so he
became a qualified feral cat. Gently squeezed the 12 oz trigger and sent the 55gr Nosler
on its way. Made my day.

That is a good day indeed! Reminds me of a fella that was working on the 1500 yard club for VHA, and had popped a prairie dog but had seen it go in the hole. Along comes a 'yote which dug the PD out of the burrow, at which point he capped the 'yote. I guess he had to claim one or the other, IIRC it was around 1600 yards. Cool

I wonder if they would ever consider a crat division?

It is hard to get target pasters to stick to the crat fur.

Of course they would establish a prairie cat division. They have a prairie dog division established already.
