Rats are like potato chip...

Rats are like potato chips, you can’t just kill one. Tonight I went to the dairy to retrieve the shooting stick I left on my last visit. I told my wife I wouldn’t be long. As I arrive a fellow pester texts me saying the rats are jumping tonight. And that he is also on the property. So I get my first kill immediately in one of the small holes/caves that pepper the foundation of this large barn. I killed at least 25 rats in the two hours I was there. Many of the kills are within the walls/slats/holes. Two of the rats I shot were at 6 feet! I could have spit on them. Every time I was ready to leave up would pop another obliging rat. Had a good scare I shot and thought I kill a small rat, which I retrieved and put in the bucket. As I lifted the bucket to move along this wounded rat jumps out and made me jump but good! The little pp700sa is up over two hundred rats, she is a rat blood thirsty little beastie.

haha looks like you had fun! I do have one dedicated Prod marauder just for rats...it should have like 500 rats already... but those suckers learn fast ... now they do not show with the red light .. thinking about IR ATN

Yes, they do alert with a the red light... for every rat I shoot at least 3 alert and give no shots. The dairy rats feel safe when their in caves or small openings. That said as soon as the Sightmark Wraith is in stock again I will be adding it to the pesting arsenal.
 
My previous visit I bought home 9 rats which I put behind the barn for the local fox they were gone in two days. Last night I dumped the 6 in the bucket for the fox. Hopefully it’s family will settle nearby and keep the local rodents in check. 

@heavyimpact, I invite my wife but she rolls her eyes the rats give her the willies.

@orion, I left my long grabbers at the other dairy, have to go get them, I really missed them last night, I couldn’t reach some rats in the walls with the small tongs.
 
Awesome man!

You're really racking those things up left and right lately.. 
C'mon.. Slow it down a bit.. If you keep at it the way you have been, 
there won't be any rats left here in NY for the rest of us to shoot at.

All the really vicious rats are in the capital in Albany. Dirty, they breed like “rats” so plenty to go round.

@pcparmy, my wife complains about the smell too, but my Jack Russell Riley loves that smell. He goes nuts when I get home.
