Hey Phil.... I have a bit of a rat problem in my coop. Dh says my .308 is a little bit of overkill for them.

A little.....
I think it would be hard to hit em with that.... Unless you can get them to pose.

Ok, now I'm drooling for maple syrup. Someone could offer to send me some. I'd be glad to reimburse the costs involved. It's very hard to get real maple syrup here in Florida.

PM me your address. I'll send you some.

I always wonder, with how dumb and slow grouse and ptarmigan are...how they manage to reproduce and stay alive in the wild .... ....

Different grouse are different.
We have Ruffed grouse and spruce grouse.

I took this picture of a spruce grouse behind my house. He would walk right down the trail next to me. A Ruffed grouse won't let you get that close..... They usually run away before you can get close enough.... Then they fly fast..... Like zero to 40 mph in a second.
Very hard to get a good shot on.
We aren't allowed to hunt spruce grouse here as they are rare here. Be your only allowed two a year in the Eastern U.P. by the bridge.

That would likely keep the rats from coming up under the floor. I have one that has tunneled under the coop (converted horse stall with dirt floor). It keeps opening a hole from there into the barn alley. I have a piece of 1/2" HC poultry stapled to the wall and skirted out and a piece in front of the door but there is a small gap between them and the rat has found it. It can't get in the coop at night though, I pulled the horse mats and installed 1/2" hardware cloth then put the mats back down 5 years ago when we saw a stoat up by the house. Given I knew mice were coming up between the mats, I couldn't chance a stoat doing the same thing. The mice won't bother a chicken bit a stoat sure can.


Shipping is a bear.

Glad we don't have rats here...... Everything else but no rats.

Too funny...for some reason "it's a small world after all" is playing in my head

It is and please don't stick that in my head!!! I will NEVER go on that ride again. I was stuck on it once and the music just kept going and going and going and going and we kept not going and not going and not going. It is painful to even walk past the ride.

NO rats? I thought they were everywhere but maybe Antarctica

well, the ptarmigan here are also called dumb chickens. They freeze, thinking you can't see them when they are right there clear as day.
