Rat shooting

[mickyatch 37]

aright lads just required some ratting permisson today and went to scope it out quickly tonight, theres tonnes of them literally so thursday night im off with the s200 to thin them out ... i was wondering has anyone got any top bait to make a small baited area for them i usually use cat food but just want to hear your verdicts thanks atchy !

If there's loads of them you don't need to bother thinking about baiting them out,they must have ample food sources so I'd just go for it.

peanut butter mate the smooth one so they cant carry bits off thats what i always use

[optelic2 48]

I personally hardly ever use bait but if i do as ARRAN has already suggested i use smooth peanut butter.

_{I agree with the others, cat food (tuna) or peanut butter, Mind you if there are that many of them it sounds like there's enough bait already.}

[mickyatch 37]

just thinking about luring them out into the open for easier shooting,

Chuck some grain out, it forces them to look around for more, giving you time to whack them, and its cheap enough to pre bait an area

whatever is the narmal food there, if its a cow shed leave a pile of the feed, as in a couple hree litres in a big heap..

 

if it's going to be on hoing i'd rig some night lights up on a couple three heaps, keep them on all night and keep the heaps topped up.(that way they'll get used to a free feed there under the loverly illumination..no lamp required, just a nice seat and a flask lol.

always use bread or toast screwed on a white board....just to see outline of rat in dark..pre night lights nd lazers of course

I had a learning curve on this not long back... after many different things I found for me (my opinion) old fish pellets, from my match fishing days works well, ground up in a slop, put in

 

a bowel which is heavy so they can't tip it. ( I used bottom of coke bottle screwed it to a heave bit of wood) ... has been a winner, but only bait them as they live over the top of the

 

 

farmers house in his loft which joins the ridding school.... until they go shy blast away, within reason, live stock i guess don't like pellets!!! haha

 

 

I have enjoyed shooting the rats, only get three to five at a time but the women lets me shoot the rabbits and there are loads of them so I'm happy waiting round for the long tails...
