SKoT wolf 100 Posted September 18, 2021 Report Share Posted September 18, 2021 Whats the best bait ? Tries peanut butter but they dont go near it. Is cat food any good ? Or do they mainly come out at night to feed?. They are living in the cow shed under/inbetween some bales of hay and they come out and run accross but dont really get time to take a shot. Had 2 from a pipe after seing them run into it they sat at the edge long enough to get a shot off but the rest of them are just so fast. I dont really have any lamping gear or nightvision. Any advice welcome cheers Quote Link to post
big napper 3,591 Posted September 18, 2021 Report Share Posted September 18, 2021 Nice one skot, I use whatever they normally feed on pal, just get a handfull of the cow feed and put it on the floor infront of the bales where they come out from, instead of running across to the cow sheds theyl sit and eat what youv put down, youl get some doing that pal im sure, 1 Quote Link to post
big napper 3,591 Posted September 18, 2021 Report Share Posted September 18, 2021 Id say definitely bait them with what they are used to eating pal. Quote Link to post
PLEDGEY 496 Posted September 18, 2021 Report Share Posted September 18, 2021 Get a length of 6'' pipe about 2 foot long. Set it up so you could shoot through it. Then bait the pipe. The rats will feel comfortable in the pipe and be more likely to sit and eat. Might have to leave it there a while before they get used to it. Pallets are also a good for the same reason. 1 Quote Link to post

Woody was a neck shot so i finished it off with me no7 Opinel to the head Quote Link to post
philpot 4,998 Posted September 23, 2021 Report Share Posted September 23, 2021 My 'go to' feed is Srawberry jam which so far has never failed both daytime and night in fact it is the only bait I have used and been ble to see the rats come out before I have even left the site. Best jam is one with fruit in rather than Tesco cheap crap but if you use a lot as we do at times, I will mix the two together to make it go further. Phil 1 Quote Link to post
