Re: New (and unusual) weapon in the arsenal
Now I really like that idea! All you gotta do is put a 1/2 pound of black under the bait with a wad and detonator. It would be better than cats-on-trampolines! Smaller pipe would keep them from turning around, thus you get to analyze the terminal ballistics of a hollow point crat.

Here's the situation, I am in the driveway, assembling a new deer blind. Along comes kitty. This is the same S.O.B. that marked my boots which I foolishly left in my garage. No hammer or firearm within reach, so I threw an 8' treated 4X4.
I am now convinced that there is a kind and benevolent God. I hit the sucker! Not a glancing blow, but a perfect trajectory, smashing him square with the end of said 4X4.
I may never be able to repeat the shot, but it was truly spectacular.

There must be something about Kansans and boots. One deer season long ago, my Kansan cousin (we'll call him Chester) thought he'd be slick and put a pair of deer gonads (removed, of course, from the deer) into the hip pocket of my Missouri cousin's (we'll call him Earl) loose fitting coveralls. Earl didn't find them until he reached for a hankerchief, he was amused, as were we all. As Chester had to leave the next morning for Kansas, Earl snuck out to his pickup and deposited the gonads into the toes of Chester's Red Wings, stuffed them all the way into the toes. Chester makes it home okay, tosses the boots into the closet to await next year's deer hunt. Along about May, Chester's wife notices something smelling up the closet! Again, we are all amused. Kansans and boots always crack me up.www.smellyboots.com www.actualnamesnotchanged.com

Hey Glen, it gets cold here so we save the scrotum. Makes a dandy shift knob cover for the old truck.

And to all: I can not claim skill on the kitty krunch, but I will practice in case we want to start some kind of a redneck contest.

ac, it gets cold in N/C Missouri, too! I hunt in Chariton County, which gets all the nasty weather, from anywhere. I never thought about deer scrotum covers for a shifter knob, though, that sounds like handy idea, if my truck didn't have such a good heater in it! I'm sure there is a joke or twenty about fondling a scrotum there, but I'd just leave it to your basketball team in Lawrence, they do enough of it for everyone.

You know, down in FL, they test windows by shooting a 2by4 at around a 100 miles an hour out of a PVC pipe. I'm sure nobody here, especially me would consider building such a thing to shoot at poor little Felinus Domesticus, now would we?

Toolmaker, why shoot AT a cat, when your equipment can use the cat as a projectile?

My I suggest testing against a brick wall?

Nononononono......

Fill coffee can with crats, insert into said air cannon, aim at crat convention (neighbor's feed dishs are ideal if you believe in baiting) and let 'er rip!

When is the last time you could say you used the same thing for both projectile and target!?!?!?

Glenn, I used that approach to keep my ears warm in Montana during a winter coyote hunt last year. It did seem to work but the gals in Ft. Peck looked oddly at me when I was in town. Very puzzling indeed.
