Sage rats!!!!
« on: January 30, 2010, 08:24:30 PM »
It looks like the sage rats are already comming out in the lower valley. This is the soonest I have ever seen them out. Granted they aren't out in great numbers but, if they are awake they are breeding that means this spring we should have a bunch to take care of  :chuckle: does anyone else love shooting sage rats as much as I do?

I shoot a ton right in my yard.  Kinda fun, kinda annoying.   Its scary when they swarm.  There can be hundreds all of a sudden.

I live in Pasco and go up in the lower valley to shoot them. It is hard to find land to shoot them but there is land out there you just need to know where to look.

Depending on the caliber of your choice, I can point you guys in the right direction in the Yak Valley, my dads neighbors hired some retired "sniper" to shoot them on their farms, mostly grapes and some orchard. Shoot me a pm and we can see what we can do, my dad has been farming down their all his life and knows everyone. I am sure they would welcome some redneck snipers; especially when their services are free.
