I sell them, we sell hundreds of lbs a week.What do you do with all the dead bodies? I'm assuming you don't eat them.

My best day of pest control...
One day I had all(9) DRTs. Made my heart feel better about what I had to do

I would love to be able to do pest control for farms. Those are some sweet setups, I'm trying to fix up my buddies sk19 as it's leaking. Currently running a 177 impact with the 600 mm barrel shooting the 13.43 grain knockouts at about 31ftlbs. An edgun leshiy classic 350 in .25 and .35 both shoot great.

It’s nice to help out on a small family farm and rats are a ton of fun. Otherwise I’d rather be down with you getting a tan as opposed to dropping my pellet pen in cow manure. I’d love to come down for an iguana hunt sometime.

I sell them whole. Some use for bait, feeding their hog farms, gator farms, skins, taxidermy, consumption, exotic foods, etc.

That's an insane amout of carcasses! I would love to be able to hunt iguanas with my 17hmr, I'd have a field day haha.Just Pre covid @ 2018 Extreme North East corner of California ( Surprise valley )
Belding Ground squirrels in the Alfalfa fields .... 1 single days shooting 512 kills in total. In the morning before the winds picked up shot the .22 air rifle for @ 4 hrs and killed a tad over 200. Finished off the day with a .17hmr. Most epic pesting day of my life !!
The 3 day trip 1/2 day, full day, 1/2 day netted a tad over 1000 kills. Epic trip
Got some pics ... tad too graphic IMO.
No we don't fetch em ... other squirrels do or the raptors, yotes or night scavengers clean it all up, that by next day you would never know the slaughter that happened.

Sorry about the loss, at least you got in it when you could while it lasted. That's a crazy amount of birds a day though. Did you make decent money?

Gotcha, I take it you used cheap pellets? That's a heck of a lot of birds to shoot for free.

I've never been paid to shoot. And I've been shooting all my life

It is most definitely a priviledge that I am most grateful for.I've never been paid to shoot. And I've been shooting all my life

I'm rooting for all of you guys reporting insanely high numbers of kills per hour or per day.
Way, way AWESOME!!
I have killed my share of pests, but I've got ways to go to achieve the numbers of any of you.
However, it is special day of pest control when you get to take a new shooter on a pesting mission,
who has only shot any gun once for an afternoon at paper targets,
and let him shoot at the pests messing with the livelihood of honest farmers.
Some time ago, I had that opportunity, and I let him have most of the shots.
I wouldn't have taken him so soon to something that serious -- but he was just that good on his first shooting session already:
He shot a 7-shot group at 100 yards, under 2 inches. (With the gun he used I have not been able to do any better....)
So, yeah, it's awesome to get to show someone the ropes, encourage them when they miss, and see them learn!
My pesting friends, keep up the good work. Good riddance, let's get rid of them PESTS!!

Love it! As much as I enjoy pesting on my own, I love doing the tours that I do. Specially when we get large hauls. I've had people that were only to come their relatives on the tour and go from not really wanting to participate, to wanting to take every shot, and nesrly enjoying themselves more.I'm rooting for all of you guys reporting insanely high numbers of kills per hour or per day.
