contract killerz Posted February 24, 2004 Report Share Posted February 24, 2004 I have attempted to apply the tips u have all given me and have found 3 areas where i hope that the pigeons are roosting in a new wood away from the keeper's overshot woods. I have been out watching 2 times now and have seen a load of pigeon flocking in. Going out tomorrow hope to have a good day. Has anyone else noticed the high numbers of tree rats at the moment. I had 15 when i was walking the dog on sunday. Why so many? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fisherman Mike Posted February 25, 2004 Report Share Posted February 25, 2004 Sorry to disillusion you boys.... The grey tree rats (sciurus caroliensus) dont infact hibernate.... A mild winters day will see them very active... 2 to 4 young with two litters a year is why there are so many about... Thousands round here I shoot at least 3 every time I go to my rough shoot... They are also prey on birds eggs and nestlings... Did you know that... Shoot the lot and send them back to the states.... FM. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
