This sounds like fun! Never heard of rat hunting.

I would say anywhere a rat would hang out...If you were a rat, where would you be?

This used to be common when every town had an open dump. Now there are land fills that are more sanitary and substantially reduce the rat population. You will have to go find a corn crib full of rats to shoot them now.

Just another veiled excuse for the gummint to intrude into our daily lives. Free the land fills. Bring back bubonic plague, when men were men, and ratz ran scared! Who's wid me??!!

killed many rats when i was a kid with a #4 Remington 22 short in corn crib and barns.....in hi school me and a buddy raised beagles and the rats would dig holes into the pens.....we would move the pens dump gas in the holes and light them up then let the flamin' rats have with auto 12's....big fun!!!!

I shot a lot of rats at the dump when I was a kid.
We would light a fire close to dark and those rats would come a running.
We never did get in trouble. Walked right through town with rifles or shotguns. Nobody gave a second glance. Man.....those were simpler times.

Granaries. Son in law used to work at two different granaries, and he said they were overrun with rats all the time.

We used to sit at the local grain elevator, in lawn chairs. We would sit for half the day and just pick them off as they came out. The old timers would come out and drink beer and watch just to B.S.
We also had a big grain barn that was over run with the things. We would just flip over an old board and they would be running everywhere.
Simpler times... Yes.

We shot them many times at dumps when I was a kid. Like an arcade before arcades were around.

You would get in trouble for shooting those rats

The grain elevators at Sherman & Raymond Sts in Indy used to let people shoot rats.
Today probably not so much.
