It is 1:30 am and I am about 12-15 yards from the trash cans. Someone threw away a small mattress. Perfect quiet back drop if a miss a rat going after the open jar of peanut butter someone conveniently left perfectly placed. LoL, didi say if I missed?  I'm 9 for 9 tonight!  I also got 3 by my house Wednesday night that I hadn't logged yet.

+9
Resting eternally:  247

+1.  248

I got all but 2-3 on video.

Went back to clear up any bodies. I shot the closest first then a second came to investigate what was wrong with his fellow rat. He found out. Then the third came to check on the first two. They are lying where they dropped.   It was a bit rainy last night so that mighta washed away any blood.

Here is the video from last week.  I turned off the recorder a couple times while waiting for more rats to appear.  I also cut out some dead time (and possibly a kill or two).  The date is off by one month.  Haven't figured out how to change the date on the recorder yet.
I missed recording a few kills as I had 9 that night and they aren't all in the video. One rat was too close to a car to shoot and another time a rat comes out and I didn't shoot him at that time.  I was hoping he would tell the rest that the coast was clear.
Hope to do some more hunting.  Between the weather and trash pickup days I haven't been back over there since.

I am not a hunter. I honestly hate killing anything, even a rat or mouse. BTW, rats and mice make great pets. And while it is not for me I support your right to do this. But I have to say I am actually getting some perverse pleasure out of watching you kill rats. And I have to say if given the opportunity I would probably do this as well. I enjoyed the video. Maybe a little too much!  :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

I'm actually not much into killing things either.  Had the rats not gotten completely out of control and started eating our garden and peeing in the washing machine (not in the basket but everywhere else in there and it STINKS) I wouldn't have gone to war with them. We lived in peace my first year at this house.  As it is I go to some expense to try to make their deaths quick. I bought an expensive bolt action rifle (two actually) so if I didn't get a clean kill shot I could follow up quickly with another. I don't like seeing any animal suffer - even the rats.  The nightvision system I bought is purely for efficiency.  The DVR I bought for the night vision is purely for sharing the hunts with the forum here. Unfortunately I often forget to turn it on for each shot.

However, similar to you, I've developed a perverse pleasure in hunting them. More so than I'd like to admit.

I'll post the video I made last night in a bit.

Oh yea, +5

Last night shooting. About 15 minutes condensed into ~ 3 minutes.
It's amazing how when you shoot one with a silenced weapon other rats go check out the one you just shot.   At one point there are 3-4 wanting to check on one I had just shot.   If I had been using my large pellet rifle (the .25) I could've gotten at least 2 or maybe even 3 with one shot (penetration with it is incredible). I coulda gotten a couple more if I was quicker with the trigger too.

Were those cockroaches I saw running around with the rats? Or mice? There was something else running around down there. Have you thought about setting traps?

Those are roaches. Did traps (early part of this thread). 
This is a pretty long thread but the whole story is contained in it if you start at the beginning.

Yeah, I did read that. But my memory fades pretty quickly these days. Thanks for the new video.

What's up with these assholes going around shooting cars, houses, businesses, and PEOPLE with BB guns?
Already people are asking if they should be banned. They are going to screw stuff up for everyone else.

Those people are already breaking laws.  Catch and punish them.  If they shot a person take 'em up on attempted murder charges or at least reckless endangerment (yea hard to kill with a BB gun but it's possible - and very possible with a pellet gun).

HPD makes an arrest in connection to the BB gun shooting incidents.
I think, therefore I am armed.
