right… i asked one question. If that is complex…. I dont know what to say to you. Take it easy, have a nice day.
Dude, whatever… maybe you should’ve completed your thoughts in your OP. Would’ve save a crap ton of everyones time. You have a nice day yourself… like I said didn’t know rats were some complex to kill.
Let’s be adults and be mature. I had a simple question. I got some good answers, im happy. Let’s leave it at that. Not sure what else you want. I already apologized for hurting your emotions.
Yes, let’s… follow your own advice… hurting my emotions? Why would your inability with rats hurt my emotions…? Man! You’re full of yourself!!! I’ve asked you for nothing… good luck with them rats…
Are you ok?
We good man. I’m here because i enjoy shooting, and hope you are too. Let’s just enjoy the hobby. It’s awesome you killed over thousand rats, not counting birds. Clearly you like shooting… and so do I. And i probably have more to learn from your experience. We have stuff in common. We have more reason to talk about excitement of shooting than anything negative. Whatever i did to make you unhappy, i did not mean to do it.
From what i heard from chicken store, chickens are prone to lead poisoning. Also because they have no teeth, they eat sand and store it in the gizzard to grind up whatever food they eat. If they eat small pieces of lead, it stays in the gizzard because it can’t be broken down. They could show signs of lead poisoning which is lethargy and slowly die, or worse is that the eggs can contain significantly high amounts of lead. Now, im no expert on this. I dont know the details, but i trust the chicken people in the store. And yes, some of my chickens slowly died with exact symptom, but not all
The wires are connected to an infrared emitter and detector. So when the rat breaks the infrared beam it triggers a circuit that activate a solenoid that pulls the triggering plate of the trap. Noticed the wire connected to the triggering plate. This infrared beam works better than anything else I've tried. Because rats often don't eat anything they're very cautious but they often smell things and that's all they need to do to be terminated. I also added nails and a saw blade so that the rat is slammed against the nails and saw blade and cannot wiggle out. Because the big ones can still get away without that modification. The trap has the springs modified so there's 50% more clamping pressure than the standard trap. The black things are unshelled sunflower seeds that are part of the bird mix that I use for bait. I like bird seed because it lasts a long time without spoiling the rats seem to love it and it doesn't attract ants.
Yeah. It’s my mistake. I was shooting the underside of rats because their belly was facing me. I figured i should be making lung shots. Should do more research, hence i am here.
Thanks. Im not expecting it, but hoping they dont crawl somewhere quickly and die there. You are correct. Low power isnt the issue. I’ve tried from 600 to 900 fps and it doesnt make a difference as they all go through the rat clean. Headshots have been tricky because im shooting facing their belly. I only see underside of neck and snout. They crawl on chicken wire which is facing me.
Ahhhhh I see now, so not to be blunt but you obviously have very little experiance,
Don't ever expect perfection. There will always be some that roam. Unless you explode them in 2.
Aye. True words.
Thanks. As stated i have no expectations, but do have hope.
