Mr Grumpy goes ratting
Roy is tired and grumpy, and giving David grief. David’s one hope is that Roy takes his rattiness out on the local rodent population. With the end of the falcon breeding season just around the corner, Roy has just a couple of hours to perform some important rat control around his aviaries. Poison is not an option with so many birds of prey around the place, plus the local tawny owls, so it's all about air rifles. This evening he is using an RTI Arms Priest 2 in .177. On top, he's added the Infiray TD 50L night vision scope plus he's got the Infiray Eye 3 series thermal monocular E3 max. The power of the thermal proves the rats are definitely in residence, but tricky to get on to behind summer foliage. Thankfully the combination of thermal and NV means that, when the opportunity presents itself, Mr Grumpy takes his chances.

Why shoot rats?
There are thought to be more than 10 million rats in the UK (…yuk).
Rats carry many diseases which can spread to humans, normally through their urine, including: leptospirosis or Weil's disease, salmonella, listeria, toxoplasma gondii and hantavirus.
Rodent contamination also presents a significant risk to livestock health. Both cattle and sheep will ingest a large proportion of faecal contamination (Daniels & Hutchings 2001).
Rats can also inflict structural damage. They can cause fires by gnawing away the insulation around electrical cables, floods by puncturing pipes and they chew through gas pipes. The insurance sector has estimated that rodent damage to wiring is responsible for 25% of all electrical fires in buildings.
Finally, rats can ruin an organisation's reputation. If clients and customers spot evidence of rodent infestation in the premises you manage, they are unlikely to want to do business with you.
We’re proud to promote enjoyment of fieldsports and the countryside. There are three guiding principles to everything we do on Fieldsports Channel:
▶ Shoot responsibly
▶ Respect the quarry
▶ Ensure a humane, clean and quick kill
