My first rat video

@airgun-hack. thanks, I have a youtube channel set up and I just copy and past the link here.

@L.Leon. thanks, lol not sure I love them but sure enjoyed tagging them.

@deadaim. thanks, I really like this PARD 008, especially with the LRF. I just have to range it once or twice and remember the distances for the subsequent shots of them rats when they appeared.

@biohazardman. that was my daughter's idea, lol. Thanks, always looking for improvement. Learn as I go I guess.

@tibor. thanks, definitely lots of targets to shoot at. I need to relax and enjoy as it comes. Just too darn excited to spot and shoot them with my first outing with my NV setup.

@qball. A lot more than you saw in the video.

PS. just went out for my second NV shoots. It was productive and I got a "Ratzilla" which is the biggest one by far, measuring 19" heat to tail and it was thick in the body as well. He will be starring in my next rat video, lol.

Thanks for watching and the support. see you in the next one. Oh, by the way the next video will by my Coyote#3. Stay tuned.

I saw this one on your YT (I am subscribed) channel before I saw the post here. What was the average distance? I noticed that you were holding over a little, so am assuming it was relatively close?

Nice shooting!

@backstop. Thanks for the support! I was shooting them between 5 - 30 yards. My HW100 was zeroed at 25 yards, so most of my shots were hold over with 2 full mil-dots for the really close one.

I went out tonight and got 17 in less than two hours, but with the fog coming in and out, I had to quit as the sight picture was foggy and unclear. I got a "Ratzilla" measuring head to tail at 19"! Just a heads up, my next video next week will be my Coyote#3.

Thanks for the reply and sorry for my delay in responding. Problems on AGN finding posts I have replied to...

That is about what I figured. Nice shooting! 19 inches!!!!! WoW! Glad I don't have many rats and especially none THAT big!

p.s.

Just wondering if your pesting is a paying gig? Or do you just pest on permissions to have targets to shoot? Just curious because if there is a market for pest shooters, I might try it in my area. Otherwise, I usually have enough "targets" on my own property to keep me happy... and the stray cats that depend on the meat I provide for them... (chuckle)

@backstop. thanks for you reply. None of my permissions are paying gig as that would not be legal due to many restrictions. I am just happy to help out with the farmers with some of their problems. The reward is to have private properties to shoot and practice my AG. Glad you have a home range to shoot at. Not many people have places to go shoot unfortunately. I am very lucky indeed. More rats video to follow, lol.

Again, sorry for the delay in replying. It is hard to keep up with replies to messages I did not create on AGN.

Thanks for the reply and I understand. I was just curious if there was actually a way to make money pesting for farmers/ranchers with a pellet gun.

I totally understand about having places and especially targets (pests) to shoot. Right now, I have apparently been too successful in eliminating the pests from my property and seldom have targets. I hate shooting paper unless I am zeroing a new scope, checking zero or shooting for groups to test something.

Saw your last rat video. Wow! What a target rich environment!!! Glad it is not my backyard, but I wish I had access to such a target rich area!

Also just watched the Coyote kill video. I also have a soft spot for the cats and other animals that clean up my pesting kills. Not to mention that I am a cat person. RIP Baby.

Keep up the good shooting and I'll keep watching your videos!

BTW, I may have asked this before, but I do forget. What is the night vision scope setup you are using? I finally figured out that the flashing light was when you were using the range function of the scope. I do have short term memory problems. (sigh)

Thanks,

Kerry
