    I have young grandsons in Papakura so be careful where you point the .270.

    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms

    Find a CD of Kenny Rogers.

    Put in boom box.

    Place beside bin.

    Wait 90 seconds beside bin with unusually large mallet.

    Strike hard.

    Place a brick near his hole, sprinkle pepper on the brick. When he sniffs the brick, the pepper will make him sneeze, causing him to bang his head on the brick. If that doesn’t kill him it will make him dizzy giving you the chance to nab him.

    I suspect Rushys or the box method is best though.

    I like Shawn woods “mouse trap Monday’s” channel on YouTube, it shows how canny rats are- Mouse seems to be the best bait for rats so far.

    That's not a compost heap, that's a rubbish dump...I can see why you have a problem

    I don’t want to choose. I have no need for a dead rat.
