Rat Hunting... need some advice...

I was thinking of a Mossberg 500 myself, seeming how it is good at avoiding traps. "thumbsup"

He wasn't good enough this time.
Seems like my house is a prime target for these critters. I have a greenbelt of wetlands directly behind my house, a little wider than my property. On one side of the greenbelt are apartments, and the other side, condos. I am sure that doesn't help any. My plan is to get about a dozen or so of those T-rex traps and place them around the foundation of the house in various locations. Though I think I need to secure them somehow as I don't want them going MIA.

Drill a hole in the bottom and stick a 6" stake in the ground.
The way you had described it I fully expected a possum or some mutant rat with 4eyes. That one looks like it would have made a greta pet... you know the rule don't yah... you catch 1 for every 20

Dude... I hope you are not right! Though we shall find out. And yes, I thought it was going to be more mutant than what I caught. Though I give that little shit credit, he was smart, tough, and didn't die easy.
Would just need to detemine where on the trap is the best place to drill this hole... I was thinking a small hole in the back of the trap and then zip tie it to a large stake in the ground.
My co-worker said fertilizer works great to as a deterant. Though I figure a dozen or so T-rex's around the perimeter and I should be set.

The 3 of you do know that you are advocating him to commit a felony punishable by 10 years in federal prison don't you?

Man... not sure how you can handle that kind of smell... Depending on the size of it, that smell could last for weeks.

Hands down best thread I have read this week "thumbsup" Congrats on the kill.
I am just picturing you running around that damn shed chasing the thing though HAHAHHA!
Haha!!! Great thread. 
I have been battling a mouse problem. Not as tough as the meth-head rat you had but it has been entertaining for me. I sniped one in the living room with the bb gun. That was funny watching my wife and daughter duck as the bb bounced around the living room. My wife and daughter chased one around the living room and caught it in a tupperware container while I was at work. They saved it for me to kill when I got home. I put a Brillo pad in the container and after about 30 minutes of chewing on it he was about half dead, so I dumped him out in the back yard and shot him with the bb gun.
Congrats on a well deserved victory. "thumbsup"

I'm sure if my neighbors were outside, they heard me yelling and cussin' at it... You could say I worse than a sailor usually when the kids aren't around. And if they would have seen me running around that shed, they probably would have died from the laughter and old age. Shit, if I could have watched myself running around that thread, I would be laughing to. I chuckle a little bit just thinking about it.

Great story! I love happy endings! :twisted: :twisted: :twisted:
When I lived in Mesa we had an orange grove just beyon our development and had all kinds of field mice in and out of the garage. We set traps and caught them all the time. Except for this one little ****er. I was in the garage with the door open and heard a noise. I moved the 45gal bucket of dog food and there he was dragging the snapped trap back to a corner. 'Sum bitch! He took off past be and down the wall heading for the yard and I chased after him with a shovel. He turned left and ran for the neighbors house. I noticed their garage was open and feared he would duck in there for cover. I'd never be able to find him as their garage was piled with shit. So I took a leap... and I was hoping my foot would come down just in front of him so that he'd change directions so that I could pound him with the shovel, but I was off in my distance. I landed right on him with my size 12. Next thing I know, I'm leaving a 2ft long blood-red skid mark in my neighbors driveway. :shock: :shock: :twisted:

ultimate solution to the rat problem
pick a neibor you don't like, then you go get 2 chick rats and move them in there. this fat bastard you have at your house will probably move right over there.
