navman 126 Posted February 12, 2015 Report Share Posted February 12, 2015 We've been out today with the head keeper on a local shoot who we beat for- only managed to get 79 rats, ran out of time! Back again next week for more sport, brilliant time, dogs worked really hard to get the bag, everyone marked and dug out, plenty of bolts with multiple kills, great fun. We have been looking at the holes/runs coming out of cover crops a all season, rats well fed on corn and maize, good few sessions left before weather picks up, scary at times but real good entertainment ! Took a few vids/ pics to share, hope you enjoy them as much as we did !!! 6 Quote Link to post

navman 126 Posted February 16, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 16, 2015 Out again on the estate today at the rats, only managed 63 today. Fantastic sport again, dogs knackered, we are feeling the pain more with all the digging !! As you can see most of the rats are of a decent size with all the maize they have consumed, blocks completely stripped bare, decimated. Couple of nests found with young in, really good day had by all, weather was great, wet start but cleared fortunately 4 Quote Link to post
