The great, big, rat hunt!

[crowinghen]

Put a red light out by your coop and leave out your bait where you have a good shot.  Get your pellet gun ready, and drill the little buggers when they come out to the bait. If you don't want to sit around and wait, get a driveway alarm from Harbor Freight and leave it near the bait. It will beep when you have a visitor. I've gotten lots of rats this way - it's a ton of fun.

great idea! I've done all of the above except for the driveway alarm!

those are some Boone & Crockett rats ! by the looks of things you have to wear the Danner style romeo's to sneak up on them    better not post too many pics or the F&W will start making you buy a tag for them

My boss scored this booner today

Don't see many Fieldmasters around.

If you get a booner post it up 

I should of done a full body mount on this one, real trophy as the whiskers are outside the ears.

I shoot them if i can, but if you are only using traps the Tomcat rat traps work real well, get a dozen and set up a trap line.

That looks like a pack rat not a Norway rat...?

Maybe it's like elk.  Cascade vs Roosevelt.  The east side rat has the bushier tail and the westside the bigger body diameter.

Whiskers outside ears killed me.

Here you guys go....looks fun to me

At 3:43, is that a pig?  Yikes, this guys feed bill for the rats is more the than porkers.  Good study on shot placement and did they have a couple of five gallon buckets to cleanup the carnage?  Excellent practice with benefit.  Thanks for the post

That's a rat hotel, must be a pig feed lot.

[PastorJoel]

Do these critters hibernate or something?  I haven't seen any in a few days.

Cool video, I sure wouldn't want to be the one having to pick all of them up though.

Not as bad as rats, but I've trapped 9 mice in the last 8 days in our basement, nothing last night though, yucky things.
