A hour at the rats

[nasher1 258]

Me and Bristol Tim visited a soon to be closed pig farm today for a quick go at some rats, took one of my daughter's along for her first ratting trip (well was her birthday). She was meant to be on the video camera but got stuck in with the rest of us so you will have to make do with the group photos

. The rats were reluctant to bolt to the smoker either that or my every type of oil in the workshop mix was killing them underground. So it was down to moving everything manually we covered up a fair few bodies moving the stuff about, the farmer gave us a hand with a forklift on some pallets, I was surprised how many there was under these, the dogs performed spot on, the old veteran Thorn knows exactly what to expect and is a pleasure to watch, I would have liked to have got some pics of her working but things just got too hectic, the pup had a nip on the nose and that was the start of more slaughter I dont think a rat got passed her. A most enjoyable bit of sport watch this space cause in two weeks they are pulling the last shed apart so we will be there for a last big bash at it atb nasher

We went back today, didn't need the smoker just moved the feed bins away from the walls, the place was alive with rats, the shed was like a oven so only managed about a hour and killed 44 rats, the dogs would have carried on but started to blow a bit in the heat and as we are going to hit it a couple more times this week we didn't want to overdue it, had a chap there this time with a video camera and got some good footage of the dogs working, how do I get this on the site, heres the group photo
