Pound for pound nothing touches a big male feral cat. I shot a Tom last year running across the pasture. Three solid center punches from lead 5’s and he still made it to the fence. Unreal.

As a younster, I shot a huge male cat in our barn. Dad wanted him gone, as he was hard on young kitties kept around for rat control. I was in the hay loft, cat raised his head, caught a 150 gr. wheel weight cast SWC from my K-38, square in the mouth. Blew out the the back of his skull. DOA, of course. I dragged that thing out of the barn and when I held him by the back legs, his nose drug the ground. He must have weighed 25-30 pounds, one of the biggest cats I've ever seen, for sure the biggest one I ever shot. Dad was pleased. DF

Reminds me of spending time at my grandparents cabin with my Ruger 10/22 and Weaver K4 or grandpas single shot revolver loaded with rat shot and bringing all of my trophies back to show grandpa and hound him to buy me another brick of ammo.

I’ve put a 45 in the head and two in the body and a big coon in a trap and he just sat there and looked at me. Tried to crawl up the tree. When you see the tail start swinging the end is near.

Anything in the weasel family. Fisher cats are pretty tough per lb too.

Nothings tough against a 44.mag or .3” 12 gauge with 00. But a leg hold trap and a stout stick will show you what is.
Geese are pretty tough.

Porcupines: not hard if you are armed with max loaded 357 125 gr JHP. Beware of raining quills.
Very difficult if one is armed only with a fist sized rock.
Summer of 1981: I was employed to irrigate and care for a small (two or three sections) ranch. It had about 100 acres of irrigated alfalfa hay. A wild fire had burned off several tens of thousands of acres of the BLM Range Lands around the ranch. Porcupines were migrating into the hayfields from the burned off rangeland.
The landowner had instructed me to kill any porcupine in the hayfields and remove them, as porcupine quills baled into a hay bale are lethal to cattle.
I owned no handguns at the time. And often it was inconvenient to carry a big game rifle while doing ranch chores.
Occasionally I would stumble across one of the big rodents with nothing more lethal than a rock. The suckers tend to curl up in a ball and hide their head when pelted with a rock. They are invulnerable until their back is broken and then they expose their head.
It was the worst, ugliest chore I ever had to perform working around livestock, and that is saying something.
People who choose to brew up their own storms bitch loudest about the rain.

Also had a couple beavers trying to make a habit of damming the ranch's irrigation system. If you break the dam in the evening you can walk back up in the pitch black of the morning and blast the beavers at daybreak with a 20 ga Wingmaster LW loaded with #6 pheasant loads.
They aren't tough to kill. You just have to be out of bed by 5:00AM.
