I have not been posting anything for a few months as i have been busy in my work where i have also been working away from home for just over two months. As soon as i get back home, i will post up some videos and Photos of some new permissions where we have been with both the dogs and the guns. We have had a few outings as a group with the dogs but only small numbers were caught. It was due to a combination of weather and too many escape roots for the rats such as inside cavities of buildings where the dogs cannot gain access.

Myself and another member have purchase new thermal monoculars which has been a game changer for both of us. On our last two shoots on domestic properties, we have both shot rats which we would not had seen without the thermal scopes. We rely in the glare of the eyes to be able to see rats through the night vision, but if rats are remaining under cover, out of sight, then the thermal will detect the heat from their bodies making it very much easier to spot. videos to follow.
