pedro68 3 Posted October 11, 2011 Report Share Posted October 11, 2011 Hi there , i recently got a new permission with feral pigeon and rat problems ,i went out for rats last week for the first time with my mate , neither of us had shot rats before .i have a gun mounted lamp with a red/amber filter on it .we arrived a half hour before dark and got set up, it was only getting grey dark and the first rat appeared , my mate got the first kill from 15yards which was quickly followed by myself with one at 25yards ,approx (best shot of the night in my opinion).they then started to steadily appear ,we were there for 2 hrs just and managed 10 rats , i thought that was pretty good for first timers with nobody to keep us right .it was a bit spooky hearing them scratching all around you though i suppose i'll get used to that ,were going out tomorrow again and for a bit longer this time as the time flew by last trip and we are taking peanut butter with us the try and entice them out a bit more .Now that iv tried it i can easily see why folks like it so much ,it was a great nights shooting and the farmer is happy somebody is trying to deal ith the problem rat, oh and i had two trips up for feral pigeons and have shot 20 so far , there are loads of them so im going to be busy for a while . happy times Peter Quote Link to post
