moxy 617 Posted January 16, 2014 Report Share Posted January 16, 2014 Had a quick reccy at one of our favourite rat haunts the other night. We usually take good numbers from this spot and this outing wasn't to be diss appointing. Only nipped out for a couple of hours but spent most of that talking to the farmer. The weather was shocking. Raining the whole time and mist dropping visibility down to a few yards at times. Now this farm is not the safest environment to be wandering around in the dark and the retrieval of bodies at times is almost impossible. Due to all the shite precariously stacked everywhere. These in the pic (granted not the best) are to show you that sometimes the best bait for rats in some instances is "rats"!! The first was shot running along the top of the midden. 19 gr to the head and it danced its way to a stop in the middle. Over the next 15 mins another 4 were shot whilst mid feast. I was finally beaten by the driving rain and soaked lenses so called it a do with 18 shot. I was called to a nice little job today. Middle of nowhere. Big garden plenty of trees and squirrels!! The customer was more than happy for them to be shot. I may land back on again with the rapid but I managed these before I put traps in place. Happy shooting chaps. Quote Link to post

Wet lenses are no fun though. After the dry bit of big roll I carry does a few wipes, as you know it just begins to smudge!! Carry on regardless Quote Link to post
