Went to the dairy to bag some rats. There are four dogs on the property which keeps the rats skittish. Shot the first small rat at 45 yards with my Bantam Sniper from atop the tractor. The two bigger rats at nine and ten yards with my Crosman 1701p. The ladder is to retrieve the second rat. The third rat at nine yards was right below where I shot the second. Took one pigeon at 84 yards with the Bantam. Then I headed back to the cow pasture and saw a large bird silhouette 100 plus yards away. It was a massive bald eagle eating a pigeon. It was soon joined by it mate. I need to step up my game and bring a better camera on my trips. The small hawk is still around. Now there are at least three raptors hunting those pigeons. The flock is looking visibly smaller.
