Best time of day for ratting??

[thurso jack 3]

Ok all ive got my rat pack nearly sorted out, my mates got two patterdale cross russells along with my russell and the permission is sorted so what time of day is best? Night time is probably best but im only free during the day this weekend, is it a waste of time during the day? bearing in mind all the dogs and the owners are as green as the hills when it comes to ratting?? and we will probably blank!! ive set my live trap noe for a week and the score so far is 2 stoats 0 rats

i find that once u found the living areas, let the terriers have a sniff about and mark the holes, get ureself a shovel a start digging away at the holes, u will soon get them bolt out of that one or another, this is best done during the day.

we do most of our rattin in the morning.weve got 3 patts,a pat x springer and a lurcher pup.there always seem to be plenty about day or night but they are easier to see in the day.as long as their is plenty of food about then you will always find the rats.i find it better in the day cause you can see the dogs work.

Hi there my best mate lives on a farm and last week loads of rats were out in the afternoon. we had 3 with an airgun and 22 with a terrier and lurcher. bolted some with a wicked little ferret.

 

even had 1 go up a tree but we had the sucker
