Hunting in July?

[Mike Franzen]

I don't have any pics but back in the day I had the privilege to participate in a good old fashion Rat Killing. An old corn crib was being removed and literally hundreds of rats were trying to escape in every direction. The weapons of choice were either tobacco sticks or lengths of hose. An old terrier was taking his share as well. We did battle in the mid summer heat for an hour. That was 45 years ago but is a vivid memory to this day. We didn't have the Internet , video games, or computers in Kentucky. Thank god!

About 40yrs. ago me and my buddy used to go to the dump in a local suburb and slaughter rats. I mean hundreds a night. We used .22's, rifles and pistols, and shotguns. Every night at around 11pm. the local seafood house would bring mounds of crab shells and fish carcasses and dump them. We would wait 15min. or so then hit our headlights and they would be hundreds of rats swarming over that pile. You could'nt load fast enough. Now it's a "sanitary landfill" and all the rats have moved into the surrounding neighborhoods. Can you imagine doing that now? Not once were we bothered by the police as they realized we were actually doing a public service. I really miss that as there is nothing more satisfying to me than killing rats. I hate them.

I can pass shoot Mosquito's at my place in the Upper Peninsula.
Prairie dogs in Wyoming but that will wait until Labor Day
