The brown rat very weak animal sometimes couldn't survive in a cage trap in a night of rain the average brown rat can open its jaws a massive centimeter it can be killed by a miniature Yorkshire terrier with one fatal bite they are sometimes hunted by plumber terriers which owners think they are special because they can catch a rat and fight with it till the rat eventually loses the mighty battle and then as battle after battle with other rats

Mate in all honesty I am sure you are a nice lad and do work you're terriers but you're in danger of sounding like a complete dickhead, if the man likes ratting then that's what he likes doing, you might like bolting foxes like ur name says and I definatley have whitefeet :-))

All in good faith

Nice to see you posting again and some great pics, I've got a nice ratting farm I've been waiting for the stack to get to the bottom layer, holes everywhere and no lack of food, outside and behind was lifting with them, 3 of us have been going and no great numbers, but all "big fat teddybears" we have only been getting numbers in the 20's each time but this week should be fun, I've put a lot of miles in the last week, been down to my mates in Swansea and Port Talbot, Oswestry the other day and been in Lytham st annes today, just walked in now, I will call in on my way to Scotland soon, I will ring you first, WM

Pay no attention to Foxbolter, he loves nature, despite what it did to him.

Great morning out yesterday, over some new permission of a friend. Was different to my usual hunt as I invited Pud and Bill(omanera) from the Border ratters. I've met and hunted with Pud before and no he has a cracking little team of dogs.on this day however our team consisted of my collie, my two Plummers, Puds Westie and my pals collie. No big numbers , dozen or so good rats and three rabbits, great morning out.The images are curtsey of Bill as he was camera man on day, thanks again lads for great craic and Great sport , atb Keith j
