boydeste Posted May 4, 2023 Share Posted May 4, 2023 Rats normally come in at least twos, so I set my trap again last night. It went off just after dark. On investigation the trap was upside down but the big rat was next to it looking dazed. I stealthily got a bank stick and chased it around until my Zulu skills kicked in! 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The owner keeps good control on any vermin that may take a shine to the lake. Coming out of winter into spring seems to be the worst time for rats and some evade his efforts to keep them at bay. I always carry traps for both rats and mice, but have never had to use the rat trap in 15 years of fishing the lake. Last night just as light faded a decent sized rat walked past me and into the shrubs very nonchalantly. Trap deployed and baited with a sweet, creamy smelling boilie was too much for him to resist. I swear that’s a Siberian hamster. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post forcebwithu Posted May 10, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted May 10, 2023 I have a bit of house envy. My brother's house. On the other hand, he has to spend most of his waking hours mowing the grass. His neighbor's apple trees are blooming. Which is making the bees happy. Local park had them dancing in the aisles with polka music. 7 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rompho Ray Posted May 11, 2023 Share Posted May 11, 2023 A short play, in 3 acts. Act I - I notice a tiny toad hopping around in my man-cave early this morning. Act II - The toad is invited to hang out while I get ready to leave for work. He is moved into the bottom half of a cut off water bottle. He sits there looking rather glum. Or, should I say, unhoppy. Act III - As I'm leaving, the toad is returned to nature. The End. Thanks for attending. Please don't forget to pick up a program on your way out. The concerge will validate your parking. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
