Well Don your gonna have to wait till tonight, this Rattus is Smarter than your average Rattus, it didn't show up til 6:03 am this morning, 50 minutes ago.... and it was very wary of the bait box, I had all sorts of goodies in the box, PB, chocolate chip cookie, Potato, but it just sniffed from a distance and then left, it never got into the kill zone, but I'm patient, and I will get this Rattus, I'm going to study the video footage and I might site in the R/C Mrod to a point where the Rattus likes to sit while sniffing from a distance, I think this might be the best answer to catching a Smart Rattus, BTW, I have a Crosman 1077 coming today that I'm going to make a dedicated Remote Control Rattus eliminator out of, Semi Auto for quick back up in case more than one Rattus shows up......

There’s something up with the Rattus visit at 6:03. I have a new Rattus coming by and Arlo shows it’s last visit was 6:16 which is very late. I wonder if it’s moon and weather related. Was hot yesterday and took a long time to cool down last night.

Can’t wait to see the remote shot!

Do you have any quiet servos to help with some aim correction? I was going to offer a 6 channel rx/tx combo, as I no longer fly, very cheap but it sounds you are more than set up for it.

I've got gobbs of servos and receivers all 2.4Ghz DSMX/DSM2 and I have 2- JR X9503 9 channel TX's, 1 Spectrum DX8 8chasnnel TX and a Spectrum DX6i 6channel TX, so I think I'm good, I want to keep it simple, 1 channel means the battery will last all night, I've got a 2700mah 3cell lipo on the gun and a 2650mah tx lipo pack in the TX, this particular Rattus seems a bit smarter than the rest, but it will succumb to the bait box and the Yummy goodies inside....... just gotta give it time, besides it's Friday the 13th and it's luck has just ran out, I just named my Mrod "Jason"......

Another Miss

$:-\$

, it heard the servo and pulled back just in time, tonight I'm going to take a break and let the Rattus calm down, me too, and I'm going to buy a lottery ticket for him,

, this Rattus is so lucky he would win....... well try try again..... keep watching this Rat channel.

ranchibi · « **Reply #29 on:** September 14, 2019, 03:06:45 PM »

Kevin, take him with you to get the lotto ticket! That definitely is the luckiest rattus of all time!

I feel like Wile, E Coyote fighting with a ACME product trying to catch the Roadrunner......

I better keep an eye to the sky, watch for falling boulders......an Anvils...

I know I am late for the party on this topic. I was watching the first miss video a few times. I never do see a pellet impact, and the gun sort of sounded like there was nothing in it.

ranchibi · « **Reply #32 on:** September 15, 2019, 01:50:54 AM »

These rattus are not easy targets to hit! You’ll get’em Kevin, I have faith in YOU! 😉👍

lol it will happen rats are greedy.

kbstingwing · « **Reply #34 on:** September 15, 2019, 12:57:42 PM »

Looks like Rattus decided to take the Night off too.... no alarm from the security camera, all video is from the security camera, just to let you know the setup on the gun is my DYI night vision, it doesn't record, the distance is to close for it anyway, I'm going to change to POI to a spot the Rattus likes to sniff from, about 3 inches from the original spot, we'll see if that works better......

... I'll try again tonight and I'll spike some PB on the backstop to help entice it in the Kill Zone.

ranchibi · « **Reply #35 on:** September 15, 2019, 01:15:58 PM »

Kevin, not only is that a lucky rattus...it’s a smart one too! A battle to easily won is to easily forgotten!

kbstingwing · « **Reply #36 on:** September 18, 2019, 01:51:34 PM »

OK got some video of the Rattus last night, he never got into the POI kill area but it gives me a good Idea where to re-aim the POI kill zone, look how Skittish He is and how long it took for him to work up the courage just to get to the backstop board.

When I read the Subject of this topic I had visions of a remote controlled fully automatic air rifle with motion sensors and an automatic target acquisition system like you see in the movies when they want to protect the perimeter from the enemy, loins or dinosaurs! LOL! Sounds like you probably have the equipment available to at least be able to adjust aim if needed. Not sure how complicated that would be... Wouldn't be nice if there was such a set-up for air guns! LOL! I have really enjoyed your videos! Persistence will pay off and I look forward to seeing Mr Rattus remotely dispatched!

I thought about that, but it would make too much noise also it would be very expensive to make, I just want to keep it simple and cost effective, let the Rattus come to you Right? it will get to the Killzone soon, a few minor adjustments and the Rattus will be History, I've got time and that Rattus is getting very Hungry..... soon enough hunger will overcome fear....

ranchibi · « **Reply #39 on:** September 18, 2019, 04:07:58 PM »

Geez Kevin...that is one smart male rattus! Have you tried offering him a sliver of apple in the bait house? I’ve found apple works better than any other food, even PB.
