How much do you charge for admission and to rent your airgun?

All the city has to do is allow air rifles in public by the stream, give a 25 cent bounty, then rats will be an endangered species.

There doesn't even need to be a bounty.  Just give the legal go-ahead!

Has the invasion of the dying rats begun?

This morning my dog found a dead rat and a dying rat on my side of the fence bordering my house and the neighbors house.  Pretty sure they had been poisoned.  No physical damage present (until I put a pellet into the dying ones head - I am not counting that for my BC).

I hope I don't get over run with dying rats playing easter egg.  They stink pretty bad when decomposing. At least my dog has no interest in eating them (although she has interest in finding them).

Just had an interview with the khon reporter.  She said it'll air tonight at 5 and 6.

While I did mention I had killed hundreds of them using traps I didn't mention most of the kills were using "lead" traps.

The khon2 story links are in the last page or two of the thread.
It may be worth reading the thread all the way through. It's quite a tale.  There are also links to some of my private hunting videos throughout the thread.

My dog sniffed out another poisoned rat this morning next to the fence. Luckily she's just sniffing and not trying to bite or pick it up. I'm glad she's finding them though.  They stink pretty foul once they start rotting.

2 more rats found since this morning on my side of the fence. Both were barely alive.  I also see another really big one dead in the middle of the next door back yard.
Rats are dying like crazy right now from poison.

I wonder if the poison is a marine toxin?

Does this mark the end of your chronicles?  Will it end as a legend or will the story continue?

Story will continue as long as there are rats or until I move.  I doubt that rats are ever completely gone.  It just may be a while in between kills so not many updates.  It was kinda like that already before I posted the vids and someone put it on facebook after which the media picked up on it.
