    Ive seen videos with trap boards. About 5 or 6 of those rat traps you use b and b. And lean against tree. There would be one in every trP almost every time

    The rat traps success has fallen off rapidly.
    I don't think they like seeing there siblings smothered in m,aggots? Lol.
    Feeling proud of my shooting though:rock:.

    Get a small live trap and catch one of those lil red rats with their bushy tails and leave em sit in there all day. He’ll call all his buddies over to help and you can pick them off as they show up. Works like a charm.

    Vicious tactic Old Man I like it. I killed the last red squirrel last week and then threw the 410 in the lake, last of the guns in the house.

    There is no sneaking in Sota's yard, the Warden has the perimeter covered.

    Get a PCP Air rifle with a silencer (Moderator/silencers are not regulated for air guns). You can get these pretty quiet and the pellet will not crack the sound barrier.

    I live out in the country no need to silence, I need the speed to push the heavier pellet.

    Dammit..., 8 shots and 5 dead today.
    My shooting is "off" today?

    I do have a coyote trap set on a stump baited with peanuts.
    Watching and waiting for one to get its gutts squeezed out:rock:

    My barn has been over run with chipmunks. Killed 5 so far.

    Went to refill the bar bait trap and find the mice/chipmunks are eating the bar bait right in the box. LOL
