Rat attack

Had a great hour and a 1/2 shooting rats last night.
I put my Watec Set up on my mates rapid 7 and used a cheap old battery powered IR I have and ended up shooting 16 of the little buggers:-)
I haven't had that much fun in years

I managed to record a few of them and will upload soon,
Will take the Markylight MK4 next time though to give me a clearer picture

Stew

Lol, didn't have to mate I was perched up on a step ladder and shooting through a hole in the barn cladding ( not easy at all )
My mates scope isn't as good as the Mamba and you focuse it at the front were you use it for range finding ,

Have you got a DVR yet Mike , option is still open this end ?

Where do you find these rat shoots, I've been searching for years. None of my shoots have rats :cry: You would think a stables would have some .............. no chance. Farm yards .........................none. Bird feeders .................. not a cat in hells chance.

The places I shoot must just be too tidy :lol: Gonna try the local egg producers, I'm thinking loads of chickens may mean loads of rats :thumbup:

After that, if no good, I'm just going to give up and cry :cry:


:lol: :lol:

I'll get some pictures up of the rat runs when the snows gone.

i haven't done much with them until now because of the

illumination problem.

poisons don't work as well as it did on this farm now
