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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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 🤗
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.
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
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% .
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.
This ought to start a new phrase: Like shooting rats in a chook pen. Great job mate. Undoubtedly great fun and very rewarding. Greetings from the UK. Stay safe.
Our neighbors got chicken s like 10 . Now 2 years late we have rats not small one . What Size ? Hows about mens sneaker size 9 two of them caught in traps we set up recently .
Great shooting Excellent entertainment, and thank you for a great formatted video Oh, by the way, nice shooting through the wire, not like hollywood, Eh heh 😁
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.
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!!
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. 🤦♂️
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!!

@@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 👍
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. 👊
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.
Thanks mate.
Great trigger time when there's that many about buddy. 👌
@@RJMHuntingAustralia
Turns the old adage of, Shooting fish in a barrel. To, Shooting Rats in a Henhouse. 🤣
@@PaulyDFromDownunder haha. Very true 👍
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 👊
The chickens are thinking their prayers to the chicken god are being answered!
Yeah maybe. 🤣
They are. ;p
✔️
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.
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. 😎
Love your work Rod, definitely a thumbs up mate.👍😎
Much appreciated Wayne. Thanks mate 👊
Brilliant as usual RJ, can't wait for the next one👍
Much appreciated mate 👊
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 !
What can i say appart from
WOW WOW WOW.🐁🐀
OUTSTANDING SHOOTING , AMAZING GRAPHICS.
Thankyou.
Thanks champion 👊
9.8/10 for the micky flip at 9:05, great work 🙌
I definitely gave that one a 10. 😅
That gap was no more than a bees knacker 👍awesome shot Rodney
Haha. 😅 👊
Your videos content covers the challenges we face when rat management takes us into the animals' cages. Thank you, mate.
Great job 👍. Splatterat would be a great name for a band 🤣
Maybe that's what I should have called the video. 👌
This brings a smile to my face and I could watch this all day.
Thanks mate. 👊
Absolutely awesome, great set up 👊!
Well done 👍
Thanks champion 👊
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 🤣
That therapeutic ping noise..
Great shooting!
That pop on impact. 👌
Your scope and rifle are the best I’ve seen on RUclips. Your accuracy is supreme!
Thanks 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 👌
Ethical and amazing shots, good job there mate.
Thanks champion 👊
As always..love ur work Rod 👍
Thanks Greg 👊
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. 👊
Another top job cobber.🤠

That's bloody terrible mate.
This is like 90s Nintendo Duck 🦆 Hunt, nice work!
Thanks
9:05 "My pet rat can do a neat trick where he does a double flip. Pay attention cos' he can only do it once"
Great footage and clean perfect shots👍 thanks for sharing. Greetings from Germany 😊
Appreciate that mate. Thankyou 👊
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.
Correct on all accounts mate. I don't care for rats but I wouldn't let any animal unnecessarily suffer.
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.
Great video mate , you have the best job haha 👌
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 shooting mate the air rifle is a weapon few less rats there now good stuff
Incredibly accurate little rifle mate 👌
Excellent video and shooting as always - thanks
My pleasure mate 👍
that thermal sniping footage was freakin sick! plink plink plink!
Thanks mate 👍
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
Nice video and even better shooting. Well done.
Much appreciated John. Thanks mate 👊
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. 👊
Great showing 👌
Thank you! Cheers!
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
stroof, we gonna have to break out the .22 airgun
Haha. Total overkill 😅
Does the job though
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. 😉
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 😅
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 🤗
Much appreciated Sharon.
I don't know that much about chickens but she certainly had a rat problem.
Good work.
I did wonder the range .
Quick tally 55 with 57 shots .
One took a mercy shot 😂
Thanks mate.
From 3m to 20m
"bit of fun too" 🤣

They certainly learn very quickly. 👌
Great work. 👍👍
Thanks 👊
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. 🤣🤦♂️
And they just keep coming ...good work💪💪💪
Cheers mate 👊
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
Amazing accuracy.
Great shooting. Love your videos!!
Much appreciated mate. Thanks 👊
great video mate, thanks for sharing
No problem at all buddy 👍
Nice shootin Tex.
Thanks buddy 👊
Does it mention anywhere what thermal unit this is please?
All the information is in the video description 👍
YOU GOT PAID TO HAVE THAT MUCH FUN!!
Lucky I'm pretty good at it. 👌
THAT is alot of rats! Good job reducing their numbers.
Thanks Tony 👊
how do they get inside the coops ?
They're capable of squeezing through the tiniest of gaps. Otherwise they tunnel in.
@@RJMHuntingAustralia little bastards Lol
Ahhhh Legend! Your da man for ALL Occasion's! Cheer's!
Thanks champion 👊
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".
😅
Surgical precision. Nice
Cheers 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
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 👊
Good job 👍
Thanks
That scope is sick ...
Thanks
They are frickin huge! Alot of good chicken food.
That was like watching fish in a barrel. That said though, excellent markmanship. Keep up the great work Sir.
Much appreciated Michael. Thanks mate 👊
I’m using Hades in my non FAC Weihrauch and I’m really surprised by the consistency. Greetings from Derbyshire UK
Great shooting Rod
Thankyou 👍
And the chooks sleep away😂
The suppressed air rifle doesn't seem to bother them in the slightest 🤷♂️
😂😅looks like the rats sent in sappers because they're all attacking the pens😹
😅
This looks like such a fun time!!
It certainly is mate. 👌
It’s the ping sound for me ❤
😅👌
I wish this was a video game! Looks fun
Feels like it sometimes.
As always, entertaining.
Thanks buddy 👊
This is so knarly!!!
Thanks
Do you leave the dead rats as feed for the chickens??
They generally get collected by the property owner the following morning
Not an easy one, well done. David UK.
Thanks David.
Always keen for a bit of a challenge. 👌
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. 👌
This ought to start a new phrase: Like shooting rats in a chook pen. Great job mate. Undoubtedly great fun and very rewarding. Greetings from the UK. Stay safe.

Hows about mens sneaker size 9 two of them caught in traps we set up recently .
Where there are chickens the rats tend to follow.
Just love your videos

Good shooting up there with the ratbuster ,good shooting .
Thanks Danny 👌
Well done!
Thanks mate 👊
G’day..good job.. top Stuff
Thankyou mate 👍
What do you do with the dead bodies?
The property owner collects and disposes of them the following morning mate
@@RJMHuntingAustralia Good deal! I wish I could be there with you. Tell everybody Down Under I said hello.
Awsome im off down the pig farm tonight Rats and Fox are on the menu
This SOOOOO satisfactory just watching this! AWESOME!!!
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks 👊
Is the splatter the blood? Why would blood show up in the night vision?
Yes it's blood. I'm running thermal which displays variation in temperature.
Obviously the blood and the splatter is hotter.
Great shooting
Excellent entertainment, and thank you for a great formatted video
Oh, by the way, nice shooting through the wire, not like hollywood,
Eh heh 😁
Haha.
I had my share of deflections. 🤣
Great shooting 👌🏻
Thanks mate 👊
Crikey! There were so many I lost count. How about you? Did you get a count?
Ended up with 97 in total mate. 👊
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.
