A few rats

[wayney 1]

Just a quick pick of some of the rats we got just before Christmas some where shot and some where taken by our terriers by the end of the day we had 109 rats, I've never seen as many rats on a farm ever, when the farmer was lifting the old bails for u's on the telehandler there was atleast 20 at a time running from underneath them, we also shot another 70/80 a week after on the lamp in one night.

Then a couple of weeks after that the farmer said he had a problem with some feral pigeons on his other farm and would we sort them for him sure enough we went up and it was alive with them we managed to get but there was still quit a few that got away my mate has the pics of the pigeons and u's on his camera but I will get them when I can and get them on here.

A dead rat is a good rat but a big fat dead rat is better

Hi Wayney!

 

That's an almighty rat shoot lads. But nothing would induce me to pick those filthy buggers up. Hope to Christ you disinfected your gloves and hands afterwards...Uuugh!

 

Is that a Theoben Fenman in the pic? Haven't seen one of those for ages.

Thanks very much for the replys there most appreciated :-) that's not me holding the rats it's my mate Andy who I go hunting with I'm like you iI don't like touching rats either lol,

Yes the rfle is a theoben fenman that also belongs to my mate on that night we had 3 air rifles with us a air arms s410, theoben rapid mk2 and the fenman that is me in the pic though holding the fenman I just nicked his rifle for a minuet to get my picture taken got to be honest though it's a lovely accurate rifle.
