Two more tonight. I will go back out later. The first one was huge. It lumbered right up to the feeder and stuck its head in. I dropped it...
I’m in for the night. I have two confirmed and one possible. It was very quiet after that. No noise in the walls and no scurrying through...
My son helped me move the shooting station. We left the picnic table where it was as a decoy. There was a scout rat that would come and check to...
That’s a good idea. I was going to make a sunflower seed bait station with a roof over it to make them feel a bit more secure, but I like the...
My light arrived. It’s not as visible as the 850nm, but I can see a faint spot in a dark room. I’m not sure if the rats can see it or not. Half...
Sat for a little while tonight. Have to go to bed “early” because I have to get up at 7am. Not by choice either…. Got one rat. They refuse to...
Seems like a lot more gas, oil, wear and tear, and time. Cutting cookies wastes a lot of wood.
I might be at 30 rats so far. I shot at 4 or 5 last night with 2 confirmed kills, and the rest made it back to the hole. Pretty sure I got them...
Solids definitely go right through. The subsonic hp’s I have been using either gut the rat if hit behind the shoulder, or they throw/launch the...
how do they know you are there?
I got a few more big ones. The action is getting slower and the yard and coop are much quieter. Total is over 25 now. My 940 nm light should be...
Update: The rats wised up to everything we were doing. I finally left them alone to let them get used to us being around again. I got lucky and...
It gets farken cold up here. Last winter was pretty much all below zero and we had a LOT of nights of -35 or more.
Welcome home! Have a seat by the fire and take a load off. (That poor trailer is on the heavy side. Hope you didn’t have to go far) There is a...
We split about 2 cord yesterday and the new spring is working great. Definitely less arm fatigue. [ATTACH]
My latest mod is a lighter spring in the ‘extend’ side of the valve. It now only takes one finger tip to move the lever and the reduction in arm...
I split for a while tonight and it took a while to get used to the new spring. The feel of the lever is amazing. I used to slam my hand into it...
This is what we got done in the 10-15 minutes we had last night. (The pile in front of the splitter)[ATTACH]
I got the spring replaced. It’s a night and day difference with the effort required to move the lever. It required serious effort to move...
That runs and cuts GOOD!
