Ratting

I won't be eatin' outta your pot! I love tree rat's, but the city type don't do much for me. Then again, it's depend's on how hungry I was. Frank

Ka-bobs lol You guys are nuts.

This just sounds like a whole lot of fun and a good way to get some target practice.

I have a couple .22's and an air rifle. We'll try the air-rifle first to see how that goes. If we need more power than my 10/22 might be getting a new scope and silencer

For the ultimate try the bow, I started "bowhunting" in the storm drains in Nassau County L.I. Great practice with a recurve, taught me to instinctive shoot. We did not bait or our kill rate would have been higher, also kind of hard to explain what we were doing if we stayed in one place to long behind someones house. Loads of fun!

If you want to go to another level read "Tales of a Rat Hunting Man" by Brian Plummer. You will learn more than you ever wanted to know about Rattus norvegicus.

My dad and I used to shoot rats at a local dump with .22 shorts. Taught me a lot about shooting.

Best time was up at our deer camp in Vermont. We had a wood pile down in the basement and used to go down there every night and "drive the wood pile" for...mice! Used pellet guns. Fast, moving, little targets. No good eatin'. Too small, ya know? (Buff might find a way to prepare 'em?) But boy, we sure had a lot of fun!

Ya gotta lead a hot footin' mouse, I'll tell you that!

And a much easier drag than a big buck off a mountain.
