Danny123 1 Posted December 4, 2009 Report Share Posted December 4, 2009 After our trip out with the dogs had to be cancelled at the weekend (due to the bad weather!) we organised a trip out with the air rifle, shotgun and lamp. So last night I met up with the farmer and we had a walk round his outbuildings. Within a few seconds I accounted for the first rat…but the farmer was keen to try his new toy out (pump action 4.10!). We headed straight for a corner of a building that the rats like to use as an escape route…and with him (safely) facing away from me I gave the fencing a rattle and one by one the rats all played ball and we got another 5. After this it was a case of just walking around and picking any rats off that gave us half a chance. This one I saw having a good look at us as we walked past…and it obviously found the lamp and air rifle interesting as it stared straight at me! After a few more shots each we ended up with 15. Once we had made our way back to the farmhouse he gave a friend of his a call and we headed to another farm. This farm consisted of a few decent sized fields and a couple of new buildings/barns. As we approached a grain store we saw the rats all making a dash for it…so I took a long range shot and dropped the first one…and the shotgun came to good use as a couple more ran across the middle of the floor. We walked around the buildings and managed to get a couple more between us, and a rabbit to finish off a good outing with the lamp. 20 rats and 1 bunny…and a couple of happy farmers…all good fun.
