Dunkield Posted June 26, 2006 Report Share Posted June 26, 2006 Bet your kids don't love it as much as my Jack Russels they seem manically obsessed with rats at the moment. Same as that al4x, our JRT did the business on those 5 on his own covering both sides of some bails, he was knackered at the end of it, but seemed very pleased with himself BUT.. Give him a sniff of a squirrel and he goes absolutely bananas, I mean uncontrollably NUTS, he likes wabbits but has only taken a couple of myxi's, but for some reason squirrels drive him insane Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyCM Posted June 26, 2006 Report Share Posted June 26, 2006 Can't beat a JRT after a few rats (or squirrels). They were born to hunt 'em. Cheers AndyCM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ferret Master Posted June 26, 2006 Report Share Posted June 26, 2006 My life is also on the line from other humans and i find them pests but i can't do much about them Yes i am going to probably be the first person on here that does not agree with killing rats when i say my life on the line i am talking about if i had a gun and i new for a fact that a lion was about to kill me Sorry but you wont change my mind killing is wrong and i will not kill them i will catch them and release them far away from the house, it’s not their fault they carry diseases they are just trying to survive like the rest of us WHY THE HECK ARE YOU ON A LIVE QUARRY SHOOTING FORUM IF YOU CANNOT BRING YOURSELF TO KILL A RAT WHICH IS A MAJOR PUBLIC HEALTH HAZARD? YOU ARE LIVING IN A FAIRY TALE LAND WHERE 'SORTING OUT YOUR FENCING' WILL PREVENT RATS. THEY CAN DIG, CLIMB AND SWIM. THEY WILL GET IN AND THE ONLY WAY TO DETER THEM IS TO KILL THEM. SO I SERIOUSLY DON'T RECCOMEND COMING ON HERE TELLING US HOW TO CONTROL PESTS WHEN YOU KNOW NOTHING ABOUT IT. I think it is probably illegal to move the rats and release them. End of rant.

sutty Posted June 26, 2006 Report Share Posted June 26, 2006 Nicely put Frank, you have a literary flair . As far as i am aware it is an offence to re introduce vermin into the wild. (although the courts do it every day ) So Sloter, any you do catch, send them to GO3321, he will love and protect them?? regards Sutty. PS, if you ever decide to apply for an FAC, dont mention the LIONS, the FLO may think your "Barking" . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like yours mine go nuts about squirrels and get the right hump when they tree one and can't follow it Thats good going getting 5 round bails with just him. Mine tend to work together and makes life easier for them but you have to stop them ratting after a while as they'd do it till they drop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MAJ2 Posted June 27, 2006 Report Share Posted June 27, 2006 All this talk of rats should act as a reminder, ALWAYS keep your dogs vaccinations against Leptospirosis up to date. The Golden Retriever who until recently lived next door to me (thankfully he died of old age) contracted the disease a few years ago, and was really seriously ill. Luckily at the time he was a young strong dog, but it was touch and go for a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

'Its just trying to survive' What on earth were you thinking of, posting a topic like that on a shooting forum ?? you are either monumentaly daft or this is a complete wind up !

pin Posted June 30, 2006 Report Share Posted June 30, 2006 Never argue with an idiot, he will bring you down to his level and beat you with experience Taken from a sig I have seen someone use on here, seems very appropriate. No sense arguing a point when both of you are at opposite ends of the scale, too much emotion for it to stand any chance of being a propper debate. Besides, this is a shooting forum and we don't actually give a **** what you think. Its legal, extremely good fun and serves a very useful purpose, unlike you. Back to your tofu burgers, whale music and hessian sack clothes you sad person. If we were not meant to eat meat we would never have evolved the teeth we have now. Addtionally if we had not started to eat meat and later cook it we wouldn't have developed the inteligence you now so skillfully use to try and reverse hundreds and thousands of years of evolution.

farmers son Posted June 30, 2006 Report Share Posted June 30, 2006 it is people like you that got hunting banned...the only way they know how discuss anything is with their fists. you talk as though you know our way of life when really you haven't got a clue! 99% of people on this forum have upmost respect for their quarry even a rat..they probably have more respect for their quarry than they do you! So you think instead of humanely killing a pest it should be 'kindly' captured and released in a new enviroment? well imagine that..you are captured in probably a small cage, thrown into the back of a car, driven miles away, and released to "live happily ever after'....i think not in reality the animal will run, and run not stopping until it can't physically run any futher, collapses, and dies of exhaustion! well bloody done is all i can say. but i cannot see the point in someone such as yourself coming onto a forum like this to post comments of such different views to every single member on this forum. the idea of a forum like this is to bring like minded people together and help keep our sport strong which means there is no room for the likes of you! so i suggest you quit now! because some of the other members on here won't be as kind to you as i have been, but can you blame them?

Frank Posted June 30, 2006 Report Share Posted June 30, 2006 . Your right its very sad when people need to result to name calling like yourself, seems like you are incapable of getting your point across without calling names Did you see me call you one name before you started this? You were the one who resulted to name calling not me, if you want to continue this lets do so its a simple fact if you say stuff on here back it up if not don’t say it that seems pretty fair to me And no i am not wasting my time e mailing you if you have something to say then say it on here if not then that’s your problem You have struck nothing at all i am as calm as i could be i am just saying don’t be like the thousands on here that hide behind a computer screen you got something to say then say it to my face None of us are hideing behind computer screens Mr. Infact, most follks on here meet up from time to time, but one thing i do know is this, no one would like to meet you and your ignorant ways, no thanks , as their is no way you will listen. The only way it seems you can make a point is, threw violence and being that all the good folk on here are none violent, they just wont listen to you and bring them selfs down to your level. Infact, me thinks its time for you to depart. I think most on here will agree. Frank. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cranfield Posted June 30, 2006 Report Share Posted June 30, 2006 I have been watching this thread carefully and wanted to give everyone a chance to say their piece. However, its got personal with the threatening comments, so I am going to close it and delete some of the offending posts and the replies (which will not make much sense once the original posts disappear).
