Not that I can think of! I'm assuming you baited the traps and left them out for at least a few days to a week?
If after that nothing comes of it, then go for it. It would have prevented all this arguing if you had already said you'd tried more humane ways!!
And bigdaddy, he wasn't going to trap it and release it in the same spot
If released far away the likelihood is it wouldn't find it's way back.

But yes, if you have exhausted all other avenues then I don't see the problem with shooting it. Just wanted to know why everyone was so bl**dy trigger happy with another life.

im not trigger happy

Where have i been while all this has been kicking off haha oh yeah work hehe,
Im surprised the mods havnt locked this tread yet haha.

M.R drake best thing to do is put some anti freeze in some water that will deal with it if its wants a drink but dont let any of your animals drink from it haha. Only joking im not getting involved Im GOOD boy

OMG you cant do that thats not the best way

That cat is unstoppable
Of course I baited the trap and waited... But no luck.
Any help would be appreciated.
I also have a male guinea fowl that had dominated the whole flock! Even my rooster is sooooo afraid of it!
Will he do the trick?

I know you can get these things that emit a high pitched sound which cats are supposed to hate and stay away from. Not sure if it would affect chickens though lol?
And antifreeze is a horribley cruel way to kill something.

My Grandparents had one of those high pitched things to stop cats coming into their garden (they have an array of beautiful wild birds that nest in their garden) but it made no difference so if you do try one make sure you keep the reciept!
