Hi Michael, yes indeed...some of them were pretty large but that's what happens when they are left uncontrolled as we all know.

It was a wise decision for owner to allow you to shoot. It's definitely a very challenging location! And you made it look easy....👍👍👍

Thank you Michael. As a novice, I fear the owner would have done more harm than good during the day and would not have been able to target the rats at all when they are most active at night. I'm more than happy to help in these situations as I'm a big advocate of the "one shot, one kill" principle. I'd hate to think of loads of injured rats hiding in corners due to an inexperienced shooter.

Very good rat shooting video!

Thank you very much, glad you enjoyed it.

Another enjoyable vid. You got a few sneaky ones through those fences. Following your advice re popping off corvids in my garden, looked up the regs and spoke with a guy at our local RSPB at Bempton cliffs, where, by the way there's hundreds of ferral pigeons and jackdaws, who told me that on your own property, if crows or magpies are targeting nesting birds, you have justification to shoot them.

Hi Stephen, yes those fences posed a bit of a challenge for sure 😏 As for the corvids, your best bet is to go onto the BASC website and check out their General Licence summary table. It is very clear as to which birds you can shoot and why. As a "heads-up", It's worth noting that to comply with the terms of the Gereral Licences, you may be required to prove that you had tried alternate methods before deciding that shooting was the only alternative. Better to be well informed than be the subject of a court case.

@@dbppestcontrol5670 True, I'll check those out. As for the RSPB site at Bempton, they just leave be, as it'd take a very couragious jackdaw to have a go at a seagull egg or chick.

Love your vids Wish I could find a permission like that There must be plenty about Must put the word out

Hi David, well this particular permission just sort of landed in my lap. We had a couple of guys in on the range last week, having bought a new air rifle. They wanted me to set it up for them but it became apparent that they were novice shooters who had a rat problem. Rather than wait until they could gain the necessary experience, they asked me if I would make a few visits to thin down the rats.... the rest is history as they say :-)
