Dear Sneaky Rat: ATN 4K Pro sees you

Boring story about taking out the garbage at 5:00 am and then getting an alert on The Rat Phone.

After the alert I got serious, after three weeks without rats alerts, and had a light on in the kitchen was making sure the scope was set for NV and I see some eyes staring at me. I wanted to turn off the light and wait for a proper feeding station shot but I didn't and now there's no corpse. Next time I won't wait ;)

I CANNOT believe how noisy the kitchen clock is and it's one those that chimes with different birds songs. I dodged that bullet.

Slowed it down to 25% and it looks like a neck shot?

Fair bit of wiggling around out there after the shot and maybe I'll locate the subject in the daylight.

Thank. The eyes were bright white, weird, and I was partially lighted up sitting at the breakfast bar. This was the LEAST skittish rat ever in my shooting. It seemed if I moved to setup everything PERFiCktLee the opportunity would go away. I took the shot and one of us is happy.

Yeah Dude. After a rodent ate my car wiring the war escalated. KILL 'EM ALL LET GOD SORT IT OUT.

@qball
Thanks Man. In my mind (haha) there are bigger rats down by the Willamette River that flows through Portland. I can't shoot them but I can spy on them with the ATN and I will. Portland got scary dangerous so you got to stay away or 'leave the engine running'.
 
always enjoy NV videos sniping vermin ., keep em coming

.. researching the Wraith mini right now for my Christmas to me gift

I am trying every night with peanut butter + chocolate bait. The raccoon are unfortunately interested as well.

Good luck with the purchases decision, it was difficult for me but glad I did it. Now I NEED another gun for the ATN scope :)

*There's just something wholesome about sneaking up on a critter at night and blasting its brains out... a warm feeling.
