Weekend Of Rats

[paulk73 151]

after taking a hundred rats off one of my mates permissions couple of months ago, we decided to go and see if the nubers had build up again. I turned up a little while before my mate, and saw 3 rats while it was still light. I shot 2 of these. then waited for darkness so I could put the nv on.

soon as my mate turned up we went round for a mooch. we walked round to the provin bay and there must have been 15 rats sat in the food. I shot 9 of these, before it went quiet. we then had a look at a different area of the farm. we found a new hotspot and shot perhaps 15 or 20 from this place, but we couldnt pick these up in the dark. it wasnt safe to be wadding through such deep slurry at night. next we went to the log pile and took a few more. I went through 4 mags in my hw 100kt so thats 56 shots save from 6 pellets used when fine tuning my zero. I didnt miss many. so im guessing at bout 45 ish.

we then went back on the sunday, and my mate fetched his wife with her new 177 springer. she climbed on top of an old ttractor to shoot over some old scattered plastic sheeting. straight away a big rat climbed out, and she took the shot confidently. the rat rolled over without a twitch. we had another look around and shot about another good few rats. perhaps 30-40. at the end of the night we picked up what we could. then had a flash about with the torches. there was still plenty of rats runn8ng about. I had my first double shooting 2 rats with 1 pellet. and also shot 3 rats that only had one eye. so a good weekend all in all. I dont know how to upload pics off my phone.

yes mate. she has got a little .177. its nice and light and she can shoot it too. she had a go with the hw 100 with the nv on. she shot a few with that, sat on a bucket with the big bi-pod. then she missed one and it ran straight at her. it put the wind up her a bit Derek. lol. I got a long ranger at 35 yrds perfect head shot. the farm is still bumping with em pal.
