pointer 543 Posted July 12, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 12, 2009 its still running,not sure when its over................i keep hearing about bigger rats but dont know if they were ever photographed and verified. this year weve had this one and a 19 1/4" with hedgehunters terrier and the 21" with my Gwp.so far this year ive taken 504 rats the majority of which were 14 inch or smaller with id guess around 50 or so making the 17/18 inch mark.for us anything over 18 inch is a specimen rat Quote Link to post
goldfinch2007 2,332 Posted July 12, 2009 Report Share Posted July 12, 2009 good luck with it mate.500+rats.fairplay Quote Link to post
pointer 543 Posted July 12, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 12, 2009 cheers mate,they arent all taken with dogs though half of that lot will have been shot.still i think its fairly good going seeing as we hardly ever get into double figures in one go and never take the big numbers in one day that some people are lucky enough to do.it takes a bit of effort to get what we do often having to hunt at silly times late at night or early before work just to get three or four rats with the dogs especially in winter if ive been out with the lurcher rabbiting or have walked miles after a pack of hounds all day.
