moxy 617 Posted September 18, 2014 Report Share Posted September 18, 2014 Had a mate call today to ask if I would have a look over the rats. He said there was part about and true to word, there was I had a couple of hours wandering about with the S10 and flattening a few. I will land back up another night when I have remounted and zeroed the 550. The best year we had on this spot we shot over 600 rats throughout the winter. I don't think that tally will be beaten but there's some good shooting to be had. I ended the night on 56, I would have happily stayed longer but the mist and rain rolled in limiting visibility. Plus it's a school night. These in the pic were shot making their way from the back of the water trough on the left hand side. Quote Link to post
Coypu Hunter 486 Posted September 19, 2014 Report Share Posted September 19, 2014 You still at school, moxy? I would've guessed you were older... Also, I wouldn't lean my pride and joy butt-first in a puddle of cow-shite like that...! Good shooting though, 56 in a couple of hours is giving it some serious wellie. 2 Quote Link to post

We wouldn't niether if the farm kept up with and improved its housekeeping. But on the other hand. If they did. We wouldn't have much to shoot. I will put a vid up to show you the numbers when I put the nightvision on the rifle. Quote Link to post
