I like to grab an extension cord and my spare microwave (keep it covered in the fall) and head to the backyard. load that sucker up with bird seed and #blessed blue jays and possums and crap
feels great when you're able to best these magnificent creatures on a level playing field such as you've described
while i don't microwave my prey, i have rigged a loud speaker in my backyard (i live in a rural community on several acres of land) to emit a super ultrasonic soundwave (that only animals can hear) when my motion detectors sense something on my land that is so loud it actually bursts the prey's ear drums and causes their ears to begin pouring out copious amounts of blood. the blood travels to the electric grid i have inlaid into the ground and acts as a conduit to the animals brains by which the electric grid sends jolts of 1 million volts in 3, 30 second increments. the first kills the animal, the 2nd cooks the animal, and the 3rd dries the cooked carcass into jerky that i eat when i go on my other hunting trips. makes for a great snack. call me old fashioned but i just love the sport of it all. go cats.
