We'll never break the back, there's just way to many of those vile disease ridden rodents and they breed faster than bunnies especially where the food is plentiful :yes:

 

If we do manage to make a dent in their population, it just means that theres more food for the others so they'll breed more because there is more food to support the offspring! If we manage to wipe out a small local population of them, then the next lot will be more than ready and happy to move in :yes:

Still, keeps our target aquasition skills sharpe eh :D

 

Nice shooting again, keep at the dirty rats :victory:

Your a lucky man phantom if you have farms that you can shoot rats in number on a regular basis,all year long,year after year.

I've never had such places and once we have hit a spot hard the numbers don't usually come back the same as when we started.

For myself and my ratting buddies getting enough rats to shoot/hunt with dogs is a constant problem.

Rats are one of the most successful species on the planet, they've been around longer than mankind and will probably be around long after we have gone!

If that were not the case, they would have been extinct centuries ago!

 

They just wise up to the danger, like most prey do :yes:

 

Tip: Read "THE RAT; by James Rodwell"

I don't claim or pretend to be an authority on rats, far from it but that guy certainly is :yes:

this time last year we were shooting 30-40 rats a session 2-3 times a week.after a few weeks we got the numbers well down.

at the same spot this year there's hardly a rat to be seen despite the still plentyfull food suply etc.

the farmer is over the moon................i'm not.

the moral of the story is if you go regularly you can shoot them faster than they can breed.
