The Invasion!

[mrclark303]

Hi all,

Hope we're all doing OK and everyone is keeping safe...

I was washing the dishes under orders from Camp Commandant the other evening, when I noticed the box hedge in front of the window start to shake ... Curious I looked at little harder and two bloody great rats, (the healthiest, glossy coated, fattest rats you ever did see) climb to the top and start eating the new growth.

This was one foot in front of me and to add insult to injury, I knocked on the window and it just looked at me ... And carried on eating!

I could have opened the window, grabbed the little **** and used him as plate scrubber!

Well, the line in the sand has been drawn and it's time to take up arms and fight the good fight....

Slight issue, I've plenty of firearms, but it dawned on me I don't have a single piece able to send these unauthorised Box hedge re-modelers to Ratty heaven....

Well, I do, but they 'might' be a tad of an overkill and raise the the pulses of the local residents!

So I have an urgent operational requirement for an air rifle, difficult to buy on lockdown, as the gunships are all closed here.

Luckily, my Father in Law has a pre charged .22, moderated AirArms Rifle I can (rather begrudgingly) 'borrow', he assures me it's no louder than a cat fart when fired .... So, there it is, I'll post a picture of the results my big game trophy hunt.

At least it's shooting of some sort guys......
