Roof Rat Problem....... I think I solved it.

So these damn rats have been evading my backyard, climbing up the vines and are even getting into my attic! I can hear the scratching the walls late at night driving me crazy!... Ive bought rat traps and they dont work. I bait them and in the morning the baits gone! The trap is snapped but no rat! ... Dont wanna use poison because of loca.... So what am I doing about it??? Thank you for asking. Months ago I purchased A pallet gun from Ben.. Its A beast killer!!!.. Post up in the backyard grab A beer and wait.. They start moving around when its dark so I light them up and fire away! Its almost funner than dove hunting!! 

BANG hahaha!!! Awesome head shot there brother Few nights ago when I came by, I tripped out hearing and seeing something quickly scatter up the vine. I was tripping out how calm ya said, "ahhh, it's just a rat" lol!!

Definitely cool to sip and shoot at your will

Grab your rifle and come over to my house!

btw, how do you see them at night?  night-vision goggles?

Hey Andy, that's a gruesome pic...Nice! 
I terminate rats with extreme prejudice.

in regard to the stolen baits/tripped traps....I had a wicked rat prob in a rental years ago. They would do the same thing, snap the traps & steal the bait. I finally wiped them out by:

1.putting the traps out with bait but not setting the traps (the rats get used to the easy meal). Set the traps after a night or two and you'll get them.
2. I used the "bait no rat can resist", 1/4" slices of snickers bar. I also tied the bait onto the trap with floss. One tug and the trap is sprung=1 dead rat.
3. I had a couple of traps disappear, so i nailed one to a 1x8 plank. nailed the rat the first night.

none of this is as fun as plugging the lil bastards tho. I even threw a beer bottle at one once!

Wait for a full moon and blast the silhouettes in the trees 

Nice shooting Andy.  Make sure you don't shoot your neightbor rats 

nice shot 

Fry them up Andy!   Good shooting.

Naaaaasty...

Sean has the technique down.  Rats are smart.

I have had pretty good success with peanut butter in these traps. If you stick it in the hole the rats/mice have to work to get it out.. and bam!

That's a baby compared to the ones in my barn. The cats won't even try to get them they're so big. Sot 2 with the 22 when I was possum hunting in the barn. The next one I get I'll put on the hawg trough. Lightened up the release on the live trap last year and got one that was a foot long plus the tail.

hey Andy  I tougt you really meant  evading. I was going to send some your way.       nice head shot 

 

  Sounds like some AOTY points are to be had here!   RSOTY!  Rat Shooter Of The Year.
Instead of hog trawg Rat trowg!  Rataway points?

Rats = 15 points per inch.....but must be caught with hook & line, OTW, & in the kayak.  Good Luck! 

Hey Andy, that rat looks bigger than the last rockfish your caught off your kayak.
