The other day at my house I saw a rat in my back yard. Midday during lunch!
He was pretty gutsy to roam about in daylight and so I set out for a hunt with my bow. My first attempt that day I shot at his head in a burrow and missed as he retracted his head. I have watched him 3-4 times in the last week, my only shot opportunity was rebuffed by my wife as I tried to shoot out the kitchen window
.
Well today, I caved and bought some traps. So I come home a little early today to set the traps. Literally I was looking out the back window, opening the plastic of the trap and peanut butter and sho' nuff...Rattigan was running the fence line!!!
I lept for my bow and release and eased out the back door. I thought it was about 15 yards to the fence where he was and I shot low, and he jumped and took off. Dang, miss #2.:
I ranged the fence and found it to be at 20.
I decided to wait him out. How's all this for redneck so far??
