First kill of 2011

[tigbomg]

Was in the basement loading some 223 50 gr for my mini 14 and my littlte girl came down to asks me a question ,came around the corner at the bottom of the stairs and walked into a rat staring at me loading ammo,Scared the s%$t out of her and her sceam must have scared the s%$t out of the rat.Jump in the truck ran down to the hard ware cause I was out of bbs,got 600 and a pack of sticky paper ,set up some bate and the sticky paper and went back to loading some 223 ammo.thought I heard something,grabbed the bb pistal and knealed down in ambush ,around the corner came the rat ,I open up on him got 6 mabe 7 shots off .Ran to see were he went and saw him crawl under the stairs.Set up the sticky paper in front of the hole and went up stairs to make dinner,that is the question my kid came to ask,whats for dinner.Ate with the loaded bb gun at my side.Nothing happened.Settle in and sat and watch tv and the dogs thought it was time to eat and wouldn,t leave me alone,got off my ass and went to the stair to get the dogs their dinner ,at the bottom of the stair there was the rat caught in the sticky paper grabbed the gun ran down and dump all 15 rounds in him.Man that felt good for the first kill of the year

Time to get a good qualty, high velocity pellet gun.

 

[Sardaukar]

That redefines the word 'epic'.

Now you have to kill a lion before the year is through to even things out.

FTW! but Fail for no pics . Sounds like a good hunt.

 

[eastwind]

Do you eat what you kill?. Bar B Q maybe?LOL.

 

[Dench]

the hunt of a life time!

 

[freddyfour]

That's was a hell of a hunting story

 

[smtm]

This made me think, would 'sticky paper' work for bear defence and/or zombies?

 

[superd222]

what did it score?

Sounds HUGE!!! LOL

Nice job! One Rat down! I'll bet your daughter is happy.

I've never shot a rat - got a few rabbits this year so far...

get the trophy mounted

You need some 22 LR shot shells. Work great on vermin in close. Just remember that where there is one there are more. Happy hunting.

Those shells work great up close for sure. We have been cleaning out the barn of pigeons all winter with them.

 

[Krazed]

air rifles are the best way to get rats and mice

 

[DVXDUDE]

where theres one rat.....theres hundreds. I'd get that looked into you might need more then that pack of 600 BB's......


good shootin' though LOL

 

[Gunslingr]

I'm just saying pics or it didnt happen!

Anybody care to give insight on the best rat defense gun? 870 with buckshot or slugs? Or would a big bore rifle work better maybe a 45-70 or something?

 

[mwjones]

Anything of the Nitro Express persuasion should be good enough for rats, WITH proper shot placement they shouldn't run too far.

 

[Boombb]

canned cat food is great bate for rats.


Also, what kind of BB gun you using? a real CO2 BB gun or a cheap airsoft BB gun?

this thing sounds like a monster.

Way to go! Victor rat traps are good. They work good.
