Same setup that I usually use; .22 Ghost with the Pard DS35 50 LRF. Primos trigger sticks with Bog rifle rest attached. I toned down the pellet speed from 925 fps to 874 fps. Was only able to recover 4 of the kills due to the fact that I couldn’t get to the other kills with my pickup tongs.
Last nights rat kill video. Couple slow motions.

Great to hear. I hope you get a lot of action. My favorite shot on them is the full frontal.

I do have a spot that i hit regularly, it just isn’t an active dairy anymore and the ratting action is not as intense as it was before. My prior action was very similar to what you are enjoying now…

Always kind of a bummer when the job is done. All that fun gone. Sometimes the process is the gift, not the result.I do have a spot that i hit regularly, it just isn’t an active dairy anymore and the ratting action is not as intense as it was before.

I probably average about 10 each night I go out; and hit the place about twice a week. I see loads of them most times; it’s the waiting for the perfect shot.

That is great to hear. Truly is. Put a little peanut butter; teaspoon maybe on a piece of wood where they’ll feel safe sitting to lick it up and fire away…@rut and @SciueraPlumbea, just got back from pre scouting my ratting spot. It looks very promising, will post up if successful…

The place has chicken, ducks, peacocks, etc. So lots of feed already there. Thanks for the inspiration, am headed out at sunset, thank goodness my wife is a patient woman…

You’ll be on them. I don’t see nearly as many on cold days like were are having in the northeast right now. Could be the reason.Zulus 5-12, but the evening was a bust… just got back…Next time!
