Gained a new permission

[WILE E. COYOTE 3]

10am yesterday i got a phone call from a friend of a friend, who works on a farm in rural surrey. Result was would i be prepared to go and clear the farm of rats?

You can guess my answer, well i went down to view the area of concern, and wow more rats than the human population of surrey, they are everywhere, i wish i had taken my rifle.

Trouble is the farm will not allow me to shoot between 9am and 6.30pm because its open to the public, so the only time i can go is nights, not a problem as thats the best time anyway,

I made a second visit last night this time with my BSA R10 and lamping gear with red filter, but could only do 2 hours, in that time i bagged 22 rats, 6 pidgens, good results for only 2 hours i reckon.

I have promised i will go back on saturday with my tent and stay till early monday morning, i will also take my camera and post some pic's, because unless you see for yourself, you just wont believe how bad the rat population is.

Rentokil have been in, and laid a few traps with poison, but thats not working, too few of them, too late.

I will add to this thread after every session, and i'm sure i will be busy with this permission for a long time to come.

Not so much keen, a couple of hours each late evening when they're out, and the rest of my weekend rabbiting and woodies for the pot. plus it'll get me away from the nagging at home.
