Well i`m just getting the rapid out to go shooting on the farm what i`m after is wood pigeon`s but i think i`m going to struggle a bit tbh with all this snow on the tree`s,

All nice head shot`s as well very nice shoot M8,  I was going to get my Rapid out tonight and do a little rat shooting but after working all day i`m shattered so its walk the dog and early night for me i`m afraid.

But its nice to see where you shot them and good quality photo`s as well, Would have been nice to see the gun that shot them next to them :D , but that could just be me being picky LOL.

Nice shooting M8,

;)

Well all i can say is good shooting and let`s see much more rats being shot as i do hate them things,......Only a few week`s ago my mate`s dog got put down due to some kinda rat weils disease,

I felt sorry for his poor pug as it was sure a good dog that loved messing about in his back garden,

But don`t take my word for this read this artical below,

A Sheffield mum who says her street is plagued by rats 'as big as cats' has demanded action after her beloved pet dog died of a rat-related disease.
A vet told her that the pooch had died from a bacterial infection called Weil's Disease, which she most likely picked up from rat urine or blood while playing in the garden of their Tideswell Road home.

Since her pet's death, Paula says a 'rat infestation' across the Firth Park area has 'gone from bad to worse' to the point where she fears for the safety of her children, her neighbours and two remaining dogs.

(https://www.thestar.co.uk/jp-ct.co.uk/image/onecms:aee14a52-644b-49aa-b493-f0d4a2c4d026:ead557a7-f7c3-4918-802e-4d5b24b3a00e/pjimage.jpg?c=0,149,1000,667&&width=640)

The mum-of-two said: "I'm at my wits' end. They're everywhere. We had to burn our shed down after the rats got in and shredded the Christmas decorations inside, leaving the floor soaking with rat wee.

"They've left holes in my black bin- I went to the other bin the other night and six rats scarpered out. I can hear them screeching when I'm in bed.

"I bought this house and have spent a lot of time and money doing it up. But I can't even let my dogs out in the garden because I'm scared they'll die too. It's 2020 but I'm living in the Victorian times."

Paula says five properties on Tideswell Road are badly affected, three of which are owned by Sheffield City Council and two of which are privately owned.

(https://www.thestar.co.uk/jp-ct.co.uk/image/onecms:7b9cc795-c3c4-4690-8595-45ab0f2d6e13:776aa71c-8727-4cb7-ba4b-326bfa5de339/79994327_626180478122913_6654929087871582208_n.jpg?c=1,51,279,187&&width=320)

She has paid prviately for pest control after rats got into her house.

But this made 'little difference' and she claims she has had difficulty getting help from Sheffield City Council as she is not a council tenant.

"But my neighbours in the council-owned houses don't seem to be getting anywhere fast either," she added.

"In fact one of them is moving out as she believes it's only a matter of her time before one of her young children is bitten."

Love rat shooting, they just keep coming unlike rabbits that disappear after a shot. Summertime you can get more rabbits, but usually younger ones or them that haven't been shot at.md
