AHhhh yeeeesssssss,... Another I.F.A.R.T. prospect in the making ! Soon we will DOMINATE THE WORLD ! ! ! BWAAA HAHAhahahhhahaahahahaa ! ! !454ho, We will be happy to graduate you to a fully "Made" member of the brotherhood, once you post up pics of your station, and the results of it's first successful "termination". Oh,... and by the way,.... Watch out for Benjihunter, He's the plum crazy one here. (as for me,...) well,.... I'm the only sane one.... No, Really,... just ask me Hey,... wanna buy a bridge ?
Sounds good 454,Here's a few suggestions to improve your odds of successful "Pest Perforations",First, Get your rifle scope set up and perfectly zeroed for the distance from your shooting position to your bait station. Do some daytime practicing at this range on paper targets. Get it consistently hitting right on the cross hairs. Practice quickly acquiring your proper eye relief. (This will also assist in allowing for a dimmer light to be used). Remember, this is Pure E-RAT-ACATION,It has nothing to do with being "fair" or giving them a "sporting chance". It is a full on ambush,... It is a calculated frontal offensive, that you as an I.F.A.R.T. prospect, are expected to uphold.Second, Make sure to turn your light on before it gets dark, and just leave it on. This is so the rats will become accustomed to it, and not be spooked by it. Also, position the light as far away from the bait as possible. It should only be as close as is necessary for you to see them through your scope. The lower the wattage bulb you can use,.... the better. Remember, their eyes will reflect back at you, giving you a perfect target, even in dim light. Next,Sometimes rats prefer to eat their spoils under some sort of structure.If you find that the rats do a Grab 'n' Dash with the bait, use a few more boards or bricks, or whatever, to make 2 sides and a top, over the cake lid, leaving the open side towards you shooting position.It is possible that it will take a few nights for them to get used to the bait station. If they seem very skittish, then just don't shoot them for a few nights. provide bait each night, and just fatten them up for a while first.another thing...The red LED on the transmitter unit of your donger, can also spook them. use a piece of electrical or duct tape to cover up the little red LED.Some guys also like to use game camera's to see when the 'furry lead stoppers" are most active. then you can plan your assault strategy accordingly.I've also seen where some guys have modified the RECEIVER unit of their dongers. (yeah,.... we've got to tinker on EVERYTHING, and just can't leave anything alone, hahaha)They open up the receiver, cut one of the speaker wires, and install a small toggle switch. (available from any Radio Shack or electronics store). Then they drill a small hole in the plastic case of the donger to mount the switch. This allows you to turn off the audio alarm of the donger, while the red flashing lights will still operate when the transmitter detects a target. Sometimes the piercing tone of the electronic alarm can get annoying. Welcome to the sickness,... err,.. I mean,... addiction.I foresee your induction to the Brethren Court in the very near future. Remember the rule, "No pics,... Didn't happen" OK,... so there is your Pep Talk,.... Now go Get'em Tiger ! Ghilie Suits and Face Camo optional.May the Force be with you. May you have Numerous Noggin' Floggin's , and Brain Bustin' Fusebox Fractures.Happy Ratting
