8 ring tail cats in one night

Dang, you-all are going to eat good tonight. Are they better grilled or fired. LOL.

Thats a lot of ringtails. I don't see many around here.

Dang. Where was that?

Very nice!

Congrats.

We got them around Pearsall

Yall might of put a small dent in the population. Pretty neat little critters. I've called up a couple around Rocksprings and Ballinger...

Dang....that's a bunch 'O ringtails!

I had no idea they existed is such numbers anywhere.

Growing up...I hunted some property (800 acres) that my family owned in Goldthwaite, where we would occasionally see a ringtail or two, but that was about it. Actually saw a badger on that property as well. Anyway...a ringtail was considered a novelty for us. Lots of civet cats though.

I'm paying 15-20 for undamaged frozen whole ringtails this year if you guys are selling them

How do you call them in?

no calling. Spotlighting.

They will come into distress sounds like a coyote or a cat would.

What caliber yall using

Very cool!

That is a bunch! I think I have only ever seen 2 and that was while spotlighting coons.

That's cool. I've never seen one but would like to.

Cool looking critters, are they a nuisance like coons?

20 gauge. just birdshot

cat meat. mmm

What do you shoot them for? I really have no idea, we don't see them in our parts but once every five or so years.

They get into blinds and crap all over the floor. We had one in a blind once and the outfitter wanted to shoot it when it climbed out the window onto the roof. He used my Rossi, .357 mag, to blow a hole in the corner of the roof. Blamed the gun. Ringtail came back to peek over the edge and when I shot him with the Rossi he flew about 4 feet straight into the air. Except for being unsanitary they really don't hurt much stuff. Nowhere near as high on the shoot on sight list as 'coons.

Well, you missed out on about $150 if you chunked em

Cause we hunt them just like everything else. You can eat them or keep them to mount. either way

They any good to eat?
