al4x Posted December 19, 2008 Report Share Posted December 19, 2008 depends where they are and where his feed is. Odds are they are there and feeding on something, look about and see where he is seeing them, there probably is too much food about to be worth baiting them but you should be able to find where they are feeding and you just want to be close enough to shoot them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

perfect Posted December 19, 2008 Report Share Posted December 19, 2008 with air rifle? .22 head shots HWS superdomes, at night night vision always works well for obvious reasons or filtered lamp look under the feeders and around bails. Try not to move around too much, take breaks they will think you have gone then come back out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fluffybunny Posted December 19, 2008 Report Share Posted December 19, 2008 get a good dog and smoker. or go where thay are feeding and put a red light up and shoot them that way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
410PHIL Posted December 19, 2008 Report Share Posted December 19, 2008 peanut butter smeared on some flat wood or a brick they have to stay there to eat it as they cant pick it up and run with it as they would with dog food and such like a few extra seconds to take aim and fire is invaluable when shooting rats as they really need head shots with an air rifle. Fialing that try a 410 that sorts the ******* out but a bit messy !!! great indoors though say a barn or feed shed... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luckytrigger Posted December 19, 2008 Report Share Posted December 19, 2008 Ive never needed to put bait down. I just walk round the sheds with my .410 pump and shoot them as i see them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

keen shot Posted December 19, 2008 Report Share Posted December 19, 2008 Lamp them with a airrifle mate, if there is that many you will not have to lay food down, they will not be shy of a normal light anyway, so no red filter will be needed in my opinion. ks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Santlache Posted December 21, 2008 Report Share Posted December 21, 2008 Get yourself a smoker and some Terriers, far better fun. You'll probably find it will be more productive in killing them too than a lone Air Gun. Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
