Out with the terriers and smokers today at a farm, lots of rats about we accounted for 60+. had the old strimmer smoker and 1 of the guys had 1 of them new oil smokers, nearly caught the farm on fire with the new type smoker as flames came from it as first. The new type smoker gave out loads smoke , but rats didn't bolt as if with the old type strimmer smoker. I nearly bought 1 of the new smokers last week good job i didn't now.

Lots of rats about and still lots of cover around the farm buildings to get at them properly, a few new guys there who were a bit stick happy, which ment after a while the terriers held back abit being hit a few times by mistake ( these guys will not be allowed in so close next time, so we can let the terriers do thier job)

 

Theres something about ratting that gets your blood going i think, sometimes i think its a great sport

Sounds like a good workout and 60+ is a good result.

 

We use to use smoke bombs and a moped (when it wasn't too far to push it) and the moped was the best smoker I have had.

 

We only used, or allowed sticks, when we netted up, if there were terriers, whippets, or lurchers loose, no sticks were permitted.

If anyone hit one of my dogs, they had better have a small thin stick, because I am going to shove it where it hurts. :/
