ratting

[Pops 19]

i keep hearing cat loving fools talk about cats as ratters blah blah blah. cats suck, if they even have the sack to take on a rat they don't knock of more than a couple a day. they'd rather take down something soft like a bird.

now for arguments sake

what's your best take on one trip (either in total or for the amount of time, like 10,000 in one trip or 1,000 in ten minutes out of a longer trip)?

That's what Im thinking

Don't know what Horse &Country tv is but you may have as the chap who's it is does a few shows and sorts to show it working,he grows wheat straw for thaching so has to use a old thresher so not to ruin the stalks.Grand old do it is when it's running although the dust has to be seen to be belived,the rats were coming thick and fast and gutted the rest of the stacks that were ment to have been done have gone off and will be burnt instead of threshed,still maybe a chance for a rat or two when he fires them.The whole of his farm is run old school and is a wildlife haven,shame more arn't like it.

even bigger shame in the USA. all industrial farms and greenie nuts stopping logging. all over the country, i've seen less than a dozen rabbit & about the same in gamebirds in the last 5 years.

Our hunt did a spot of ratting at the start of the year not sure on dates ect, 430 rats were taken in 3 hours around 15 terriers and 3-4 lurchers and a load of guys with big sticks doing funny dances

 

it was at a waste transfer station in north wales, the boss was on the loading shovell transfering waste on to trailers ready for land fill.

 

was a cracking few hours and even the police sent a helicopter, and a few cars and vans to watch

 

There had been a report of dog fighting !

 

only one rat got away

 

will get some pics up after i have resized them.
