Squirrel_Basher 17,100 Posted November 6, 2005 Report Share Posted November 6, 2005 You should of been at ibrox on saturday there was 48 000 rats there :11: <{POST_SNAPBACK}> personally,I would take your little dog to where rats are out feeding at night,encourage the rats to feed away from holes by dumping grain amongst bags,logs,small bales, any thing you can move easily.Do this for a few nights prior to your hunt and on the night, make sure you aproach the area quietly.If your dog has anything about it, and rats are where youve fed them to ,he will mark like crazy.Move some kit to where the dog marks,rat out,dog catches rat ,rat bites dog,dog shakes rat and bingo.Failing all the above, buy a rat from apet shop!.

Guest bedlington Posted November 7, 2005 Report Share Posted November 7, 2005 Go to the pet shop! <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Ive been reading this for a few day's now and i cant believe a moddie hasn't removed it.. It's bad enough going on about letting live rat's go for a dog.. . But suggesting a pet one from a pet shop That's real dodgy and i bet they is a few folk out they loving this info... anti folk that is .. They is no comparison to a wild one and will have no benefit what so ever to a 12mth old dog that should be killing them for fun now.. Millet <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I agree... why buy one when theres 24 million knocking about Quote Link to post
