Title: Rat in Iraq
Post by: krout81 on October 31, 2010, 06:44:21 AM: Well after a few attempts with my blow gun I finally hit one of the Rats I have been Baiting just at dark. He jumped up and sqeaked while reaching back and pulling out the dart then ran under a crate and I listened to him sqeak away his last breathe. Must have been about 30 sec or so.

Its almost a necessity, lack of tree's makes hound hunting a real bugger.

You should get it on video! Might make the Outdoor channel, it would be more interesting than the deluge of turky hunting over the summer!

Thanks for your Service!

thanks for your service!
