Property owner is lucky to have you available or it would be game over for the poor chickens. Rat populations never go down on their own unless rampant disease takes over and then you have an even worse problem. Nice work, that air rifle is incredible.
I'm convinced I'm friggin weird. This is just so satisfying watching this that I'm simply mesmerized by it all. Plus the fact you got to be one damn good shooter. I simply just admire your skill. 😅
No not weird at all, those that don't understand the necessity are the ones that are weird and they are taking over every frigging think. Channels like this are the last ties with being normal, feeling normal and acting normal.
Great shots through the meshing brother. Mate, I just can’t get over how many of the little bastards just kept on coming. Anyway, Thanks again for another great video.
I love how you do not go cheap on the ammo and double tap them when unsure of their death. Mercy kills are the right thing to do. These little bastards are such a pain, but they're smart.
Good to see that you got the speed loader sorted. Man that is a very target rich location. Love the thermal when the target just goes poof and there is evidence of impact everywhere.
I wish I had this gear and skills. I bought my house 20 months ago and the rundown place next door had the squatters (referred to as the devils rejects, facial tatts & all) kicked out 4 months later. Then the rats came, dogs have no chance (Australian and french bulldogs) cause you cant vatch a ninja with a tank. Took up residence in my floors ceiling & classic 1986 Rx7 Turbo, trashed the interior, built a nest behind the drivers taillight. Interior was up for a refresh now it's up for a full rebuild.
Great job, seems difficult to aim between the wires of the mesh. I would be afraid, that a pellet might be deflected by the mesh and cause undesired havoc
I like watching your shooting because it is about as ethical as it is possible to be. I used to keep rats as pets. Individually they are surprisingly vulnerable and prone to all sorts of illnesses but their collective resilience is amazing. It is partly because they learn so fast, but mainly because they can breed so prolifically so young. If someone could develop a poison that stopped their reproduction capacity but didn’t make them feel sick they might not learn from it. Some chickens will kill and eat rats. It depends on the chook and its circumstances.
Brilliant, non-poisonous active solution and you know how many you get. Also it has an instant effect, your not waiting to see if the numbers drop over a period of time, you can count the number taken out of the zone as you remove the bodies the next morning.
As i was watching and saw that rats head sticking out the mesh hole , i shouted go on mate get that cocky little Ba*@#**d , the you slapped him with one 🤩. Great video as always 100% .
Brilliant shooting mate. I do like the thermal scope, simply because of splatter rat effect, and seeing the pellet strike mark as the rat falls. Cheers from Texas.
Great work as always Rod. Cannot believe how many rats were running riot through that chicken house. Hopefully your efforts reduced their numbers. Least you had a satisfying night.
She has some beautiful poultry there. It’s very hard to get an Isa Brown Rooster and what magnificent Landhans 🥇 no wonder she wanted you Rodney they are prized fowl 🏆Great video 🤗
What is the doink noise that I am hearing on each shot. Sounds like it's hitting a thick glass bottle? I have a Gamo .177 single cock 1250FPS pellet rifle with a Bushnell Trophy 4-12x 40mm that works great on squirrels. Don't have that many rats to get rid of!!
Ha when you said you where heading out to deal with a rat infestation, I thought you must have been headed to Canberra Perfect shooting shot placement and euthanasia. It’s great to see someone that is in tune with their gun and shoots fast clean and controlled. Thanks for the videos
Nice work with the shootin iron as usual. Sad part is that one could bang away on those rats for a week straight and replacements would be dropped on the ground before a shooter got home.
They do have concrete floors in some of the coops but the buggers still manage to climb up and get through the smallest of gaps. The occasional shoot will hopefully keep them in check.
Always funny when you are using a highly effective way of dealing with a problem and someone starts asking why you don't use a different method 😄
Haha. I know right. Drives me nuts. 🤦♂️

Appreciate that mate. Thankyou 👍
@@RJMHuntingAustralia if you get your hands on a semiautomatic like the Leshey 2 those rats are really not going to like you 🍻👍
Absolutely 👌
What equipment do you use? Thanks
@Giacobbo88 it's all listed in the video description mate 👍
I'm convinced I'm friggin weird. This is just so satisfying watching this that I'm simply mesmerized by it all. Plus the fact you got to be one damn good shooter. I simply just admire your skill. 😅
Thanks mate.
I'm a bit the same. 😅
@@RJMHuntingAustralia ain't we all, top job mate cheers Yogi 👍
Oh lord, if youre weird, im driving the WEIRD BUS!!
No not weird at all, those that don't understand the necessity are the ones that are weird and they are taking over every frigging think. Channels like this are the last ties with being normal, feeling normal and acting normal.
🤣
We have had problems with rats in the chook pens, and you are right. They have learned not to take baits or traps. Great shooting.
Thanks Damien 👊
Great shooting. In my view, this culling is the most humane when it comes to getting rid of rat plague. Thanks for sharing it with the rest of us!😊😊😊
It's a great control method, especially when all else fails mate. 👊
The chickens are thinking their prayers to the chicken god are being answered!
Yeah maybe. 🤣
They are. ;p

Turns the old adage of, Shooting fish in a barrel. To, Shooting Rats in a Henhouse. 🤣
@@PaulyDTheKiwi haha. Very true 👍

Correct on all accounts mate. I don't care for rats but I wouldn't let any animal unnecessarily suffer.
So satisfying watching you getting rid of these pests. Poor chickens having to put up with those rats night after night
Good job mate
Thanks mate.
Hopefully got them sorted out now.
i love how all the chickens dont even give a f lol they just chill there as u take care of the pests
The benefits of a stealthy rig.
Thermal combined with a suppressed down tuned air rifle. 👌
Nobody said chickens were smart !
Good to see that you got the speed loader sorted. Man that is a very target rich location. Love the thermal when the target just goes poof and there is evidence of impact everywhere.
Was out on them again last night. Brand new thermal scope with even clearer image. Will have the video up in a week or 2. 😎
Geez... that is an inordinate amount of effort to protect just a few (though very precious) chickens.
Pests need to be managed and controlled mate
What can i say appart from
WOW WOW WOW.🐁🐀
OUTSTANDING SHOOTING , AMAZING GRAPHICS.
Thankyou.
Thanks champion 👊

That's bloody terrible mate.
Your scope and rifle are the best I’ve seen on TH-cam. Your accuracy is supreme!
Thanks mate 👊
That therapeutic ping noise..
Great shooting!
That pop on impact. 👌
stroof, we gonna have to break out the .22 airgun
Haha. Total overkill 😅
Does the job though
Love your work Rod, definitely a thumbs up mate.👍😎
Much appreciated Wayne. Thanks mate 👊
That gap was no more than a bees knacker 👍awesome shot Rodney
Haha. 😅 👊
This brings a smile to my face and I could watch this all day.
Thanks mate. 👊
And another one gone, another one gone, another one bites the dust. 😮😅
You brought back memories for me as my partner and myself would sing this song when the lurchers got a rabbit or hare 😁
Great job, seems difficult to aim between the wires of the mesh. I would be afraid, that a pellet might be deflected by the mesh and cause undesired havoc
Definitely challenging, the right shot angle and an accurate air rifle is a must

Appreciate the information Robert.
They certainly learn very quickly. 👌
Brilliant as usual RJ, can't wait for the next one👍
Much appreciated mate 👊
Shooting through multiple layers of mesh and getting good hits! I'm impressed.
Thanks David. The accuracy and reliability of these air rifles is amazing 👌
Some of those rats looked darned big. Fantastic shooting and not as easy as some would think.
Was a bit tricky but I do like a challenge 😅
Absolutely awesome, great set up 👊!
Well done 👍
Thanks champion 👊
By the geez that looks like a lotta fun Rod! It’s got to be the best way to control the varmints. 😂😅
Seems to be quite effective Kev and very ethical. 👊
This is like 90s Nintendo Duck 🦆 Hunt, nice work!
Thanks
Great video namesake, some chunky rats there, BUT, NO G,Days. The trademark of your videos, youre mellowing!
Been saving them up for a special occasion 😅
Mellowing was the wrong word, Im thinkin "unsociable!"
Pmsl 🤣
Good work Rodney. Best way to get rid of them quickly and cleanly.
They won't eat poison baits when there is that much good chook tucker around.
Spot on Marty. 👊
that thermal sniping footage was freakin sick! plink plink plink!
Thanks mate 👍
Every time a rat springs a leak it reminds me of the gas station scene in The Jerk with Steve Martin when he says "These cans are defective".
😅
9.8/10 for the micky flip at 9:05, great work 🙌
I definitely gave that one a 10. 😅
As always..love ur work Rod 👍
Thanks Greg 👊

Ethical and amazing shots, good job there mate.

Great job 👍. Splatterat would be a great name for a band 🤣
Maybe that's what I should have called the video. 👌
Another top job cobber.🤠
Thanks champion 👊
Great shooting mate the air rifle is a weapon few less rats there now good stuff
Incredibly accurate little rifle mate 👌
They are frickin huge! Alot of good chicken food.
Great fun and good shooting, I thought the high dive with the backward somersaults went really well.
Acrobatic when they cop one in the head 😮😅
🤣@@RJMHuntingAustralia
Great video mate , you have the best job haha 👌
Thanks mate. 👊
Amazing accuracy.
Awsome im off down the pig farm tonight Rats and Fox are on the menu
Fine shooting 👍seemed to be more rats than poultry on that place
Very true.
But not anymore. 👌
😂😅looks like the rats sent in sappers because they're all attacking the pens😹
😅
And the chooks sleep away😂
The suppressed air rifle doesn't seem to bother them in the slightest 🤷♂️
As i was watching and saw that rats head sticking out the mesh hole , i shouted go on mate get that cocky little Ba*@#**d , the you slapped him with one 🤩. Great video as always 100% .
Lol. Thanks mate 👊
Surgical precision. Nice
Cheers mate 👍
Excellent video and shooting as always - thanks
My pleasure mate 👍
Brilliant shooting mate. I do like the thermal scope, simply because of splatter rat effect, and seeing the pellet strike mark as the rat falls. Cheers from Texas.
The ol splatter shows just how effective these little pellets are even when they're travelling so slow.
YOU GOT PAID TO HAVE THAT MUCH FUN!!
Lucky I'm pretty good at it. 👌
Great work as always Rod. Cannot believe how many rats were running riot through that chicken house. Hopefully your efforts reduced their numbers. Least you had a satisfying night.
I'd say it will take them a while for the numbers to build back up. 😉
Reminds me of Super Mario when they jump up
Circus rats. I was tempted to yell out 'Parkour' on several occasions 😅
I’m using Hades in my non FAC Weihrauch and I’m really surprised by the consistency. Greetings from Derbyshire UK
Good work.
I did wonder the range .
Quick tally 55 with 57 shots .
One took a mercy shot 😂
Thanks mate.
From 3m to 20m
That scope is sick ...
Thanks
THAT is alot of rats! Good job reducing their numbers.
Thanks Tony 👊
Ahhhh Legend! Your da man for ALL Occasion's! Cheer's!
Thanks champion 👊
Great work. 👍👍
Thanks 👊
And they just keep coming ...good work💪💪💪
Cheers mate 👊
Great footage and clean perfect shots👍 thanks for sharing. Greetings from Germany 😊
Appreciate that mate. Thankyou 👊
Shootin Tex. I thought you were going to go between the door and frame there for a tic. G'Day!
Haha. I was considering that shot but thought better of it. 🤣🤦♂️
Great showing 👌
Thank you! Cheers!
It’s the ping sound for me ❤
😅👌
The chickens are remarkably calm considering rats are being murdered all around them 🤣🤣
That's the benefit of a suppressed air rifle and thermal mate 👍

Much appreciated Sharon.
I don't know that much about chickens but she certainly had a rat problem.
That was some good shooting.
Thankyou Sir 👊
Nice video and even better shooting. Well done.
Much appreciated John. Thanks mate 👊
Nice shootin Tex.
Thanks buddy 👊
Not an easy one, well done. David UK.
Thanks David.
Always keen for a bit of a challenge. 👌
What is the doink noise that I am hearing on each shot. Sounds like it's hitting a thick glass bottle? I have a Gamo .177 single cock 1250FPS pellet rifle with a Bushnell Trophy 4-12x 40mm that works great on squirrels. Don't have that many rats to get rid of!!
That's just what it sounds like with the suppressor mate
So satisfying watching them cop their right whack.
Even more satisfying pulling the trigger. 👌
I wish this was a video game! Looks fun
Feels like it sometimes.
Crikey! There were so many I lost count. How about you? Did you get a count?
Ended up with 97 in total mate. 👊
That was like watching fish in a barrel. That said though, excellent markmanship. Keep up the great work Sir.
Much appreciated Michael. Thanks mate 👊
That is an accurate air rifle.
This is so knarly!!!
Thanks

Perfect shooting shot placement and euthanasia. It’s great to see someone that is in tune with their gun and shoots fast clean and controlled. Thanks for the videos
Haha. Too many rats down there mate.
Thanks 👊
But cullable
Nice work with the shootin iron as usual. Sad part is that one could bang away on those rats for a week straight and replacements would be dropped on the ground before a shooter got home.
I spoke to the owner a couple of weeks later and she's seen very little rat activity. 👌
I hate rats and watching this is sooooo satisfying and yes! they quickly learn, and teach other rats the dangers of poison and traps.
Thanks mate
I need this for my farm, they are killing my chickens. How much would a set cost or at least just the night scope.
If it is just for close distance rat shooting, you should be able to pick up a thermal scope for under 3k
This looks like such a fun time!!
It certainly is mate. 👌
Good shooting up there with the ratbuster ,good shooting .
Thanks Danny 👌
Gave em a good touch up🤕
Should sort them out for a while mate. 👍
As always, entertaining.
Thanks buddy 👊
Well done!
Thanks mate 👊
Just love your videos
Appreciate that mate 👍
Great shooting Rod
Thankyou 👍
You need to come to New York, the rats are taking over the city 😢.
I don't think I'll have enough ammunition 😅
@@RJMHuntingAustralia 🤣🤣🤣
And we even got a splatter rat, Cheers
Lol. Thanks mate 👊
Love your work!
Thanks Steve 👊
plug em
👌
Great shooting ! They need to bring in a tractor with a loader and lift all the cages and lay metal gauze under the chicken coups.
They do have concrete floors in some of the coops but the buggers still manage to climb up and get through the smallest of gaps. The occasional shoot will hopefully keep them in check.
Don’t wanna get the chickens 🐓 and the rats 🐀 mixed up when Colonel Sanders comes to collect 😂
Not too keen on any KFR mate. 🤣
@@RJMHuntingAustralia the secret won’t be in the herbs & spices 😂
🤦♂️
THEY MUST BE THE AUSEY HIGH DIVE DEAM... LOL
YOU SHURE TEACH THE WELL...
Haha. Circus rats. 😅
Perfect execution
Thanks
great video mate, thanks for sharing
No problem at all buddy 👍
