the poacher Posted April 6, 2019 Author Report Share Posted April 6, 2019 Rats will be shot mostly in daylight as they are very active ..pcp would be great but I don't know if my budget would cover it ..I would have to have a pump aswell...

cervusman Posted April 6, 2019 Report Share Posted April 6, 2019 You would be better off putting poison down, I doubt you will get them all with a rifle, but it’s a lot of fun shooting them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the poacher Posted April 6, 2019 Author Report Share Posted April 6, 2019 Wouldn't think of putting poison down where's there's chickens.geese.ducks.even rabbits running around there..shooting them is the only option.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cervusman Posted April 6, 2019 Report Share Posted April 6, 2019 I have chickens that are free range and I use poison. Just use poison away from the chicken and no problems, I’ve done that for years and not lost a chicken yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pre-bait the area you want to shoot under a dim light to get them used to it. If you are shooting them you will get 40-80%, within 4 months numbers will be back to current. You wil be keeping airgun for future use. Edited April 6, 2019 by Stonepark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
