si brown 8,486 Posted February 8, 2017 Author Report Share Posted February 8, 2017 Cheers lads I can't stand rats, bloody horrible things:( But it's a good winter sport, beats the tv hands down and there are a few happy landowners kicking about now! More or less wiped them out at the pig farm when the poison wasn't touching them:) I'm surprised a lot more people don't catch that dodgy disease they crawl all over the tractors and riding tak!
