Born Hunter 17,828 Posted December 31, 2013 Report Share Posted December 31, 2013 There's not a chance in hell of that ever happening to me! If a live rat got within biting distance there'd be some serious Bruce Lee shit going on! Felt the sharp end of a cat and fox though and of course a ferret. I'd take a bite from a bloody cobra before I'd let a rat bite me! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

whippet 99 2,613 Posted December 31, 2013 Report Share Posted December 31, 2013 I will pick the feckers up if I can ,....love them Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Born Hunter 17,828 Posted December 31, 2013 Report Share Posted December 31, 2013 (edited) That's the buzz Scot, you just don't get that shot of adrenaline in many other forms of hunting. That shear panick being in close proximity to a few rats in the dark is I imagine a similar feeling to standing in the path of a charging bull Elephant in musk! You've not lived mate!

trenchfoot 4,243 Posted December 31, 2013 Report Share Posted December 31, 2013 got bit on the wrist by a rat whilst tickling trout as a kid. tore the flesh as I ripped it off. Hospital just steri-stripped it and jabs. Since then I hate the feckers! And if anyone tells you to grab them by the tail 'cos they can't climb up their own body length, dont believe 'em 'cos its bolloxs! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

patterdale 674 Posted December 31, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 31, 2013 Use to laugh at an old bloke who i used to rat with for wearing bicycle clips but looking back he wasnt that daft just looked it forgot about the old school ways,makes sence when you think about it.where i live there's a lane for traffic which is well used which has a stream running by the side of it,some time ago a fella was walking home drunk down the lane fell into the stream and was dead within ten days from Weil's disease.most rats I've seen in daytime was at my local retail park where there's a McDonald's and KFC, sat in the car eating ourmc'd must have counted at least 15 in and out of hedge.got to say mind i was parked closer to KFC's Quote Link to post Share on other sites
greenman 221 Posted December 31, 2013 Report Share Posted December 31, 2013 A fair few years ago my pal who's head keeper now but back then was a beat keeper had problems with feral cats on the rearing field panicking the partridge at night so they bundled in the corners. One morning he came onto the field to find a big tom hanging from the window of a shed which he proceeded to strangle to death. Now strangling an angry feral tom to death is harder than you think, his arms, chest and stomach looked like he'd been attacked with a hedge cutter! Needed stitches, ab's and still ended up with an infection! We still laugh about it now explaining to the triage nurse in a & e how he was trying to rescue a cat that was in a live catch trap, amazing what you do when the red mist descends!
