Simoman 110 Posted February 9, 2006 Report Share Posted February 9, 2006 These are a few photos, i'll keep trying to add more More I really am crap at posting photos, this has taken ages more Earth was moved by the farmers bucket, saved a lot of time We ratted at two spots, either bolting them with a smoker and leave blower, or we dug them with spades and later with the farmers tractor. The bottom picture is of my 8 year of Patterdale direct from Brian Nuttall, shes my pride and joy, perfect temperament. Quote Link to post

Guest kevsterjw Posted February 9, 2006 Report Share Posted February 9, 2006 nice pics mate. does smoking them kill them in their burrows or just make them bolt for the dogs? I've often thought about using a petrol leaf blower and just using the xxhaust to make rats bolt. Quote Link to post

I've often thought about using a petrol leaf blower and just using the xxhaust to make rats bolt. good pics keep em coming all the best Pan Thanks for the replys boys, some rats decide to stay in the warrens, a few die, others either hide underground or bolt and take their chances. We use a leaf blower aswell but have more success with the smoker, putting the blower in after the smoker gets it spread around. Digging to a dogs mark is good teamwork but the tractor did make things a little easier Pan i'd love to get the action shots you do but most of the time the photos are pretty crap Quote Link to post

Simoman 110 Posted February 9, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 9, 2006 good set of pics [bANNED TEXT] like the look of them terriers. how many if any rats get away when they bolt? The vast majority are caught by the dogs, the odd one or two escape down other holes and can't be dug or bolted. Need a few for next time Quote Link to post
Simoman 110 Posted February 10, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 10, 2006 Nice one mate.......Looks a great day........Cant fault the JCB.... Cheers Taffy, first time we have used it, normally spades and smokers. Didn't half save some back ache from a days digging. Not sure how the farmer would react if you brought one on a proper dig :whistle: :ph34r: :11: Quote Link to post
