Rats & Beavers

Quote from Rusty Anvil :

Two Guns,I was watching a tv program the other night and they said that there is an epidemic of South American Neutra plaging the Louisiana swamps.....I never heard you or anyone one else from Louisiana and Texas mention this problem......How about you and your Louisiana and Texas swamp Rats (just joking)enlighten us on this subject How many can you eat at one sitting???????? Do you have any Beaver???????

 Eat ? , Yuk-Yuk-Yuk ~~~ never tried, never will !!! Yes, they are problems down here, the Neutra Rats, are good target practice, shoot 'em all the time.. we leave 'em and feed 'em to the gators. Gators love 'em. With them around, nothing goes to waste out in the swamps. 

Beavers, yes, we have 'em too !!! Treat them like Neutra's, beavers cause more damage, the build dem dams, block up the waters, we blow dams, beaver build's right back. It's a never ending thing with them..... We shoot as many of them as we can, and let me state this, beavers are smart varmints !!!!! Just about the time you think you have the upper hand, BAM, they prove you wrong ...

Rusty,

You mean ya'll don't have any up there?

You just are not harassing them enough. If you harass long enough they will all leave. Try putting out several boxes of rat poison for them.

Hell, if we harrassed them any more, we would have to call in the Green Beret's, Special Forces >>>> Or just call in a air strike !!!

 And if they did just leave, they would just go to another part of the swamps, we would have to fight them there also >>>

Re: Rats Beavers

Montana could use a few of those Gators Two Guns. We have pack rats that drive us crazy. They will chew up the wires in your car or in the crawl space of your house when the get in. We also have lots of beavers but they do not do usany damage since they only build dams down on the stream. They are a cross between a squirl and rat but are not real big. I have a pretty good rat bait bill every year trying to eradicate them.

Re: Rats & Beavers

Them neutrea are a real pain in the BUTT.. Cant knock them out quick enough.between them and the Hogs,,My guns stay on target most of the time.

Never fed a neutrea to a gator,,we have a few gators around the lake but Nuttin like TwoGuns has I'm sure

Did feel one eat a neutrea one night while fishing bout 2am..happened to notice aV going across the water right toward my boat,then the water exploded..hard to tell at night but i would bet money that gator was 10-12ft long. Splashed water all over me they were so close,(hence,, Feel). talk about a SPOOKY feeling....

here is a recent pic of one on Lake Fork.

Local boys advise on how to get rid of Pack Rats. I recomend you do not try this since I did and it liked to kill my wife and I for two years. One told me to get some mothballs and scater them in my crawl space so I bought two big bags at Wal-Mart and scaterred them all under the house. Did not get rid of the Pack Rats but I bet he is still laughing.

Yes Bordercollie, these rats do get giganic, folks up there would pass out >>> 22-25 lbs. is average, but as you know, there are thousands that get so, so much bigger. Big Enough to hurt ya if they ever sunk 'em teeth in !!!! Rip a leg off !!!!

Re: Rats &amp; Beavers

tail me about it. i feel like goin out to the marsh wit my m4 and havin some fun .but can you imagine dragin them suckers across the marsh with mud up to your waist. atleast with the salt water you won't have to worry about the gators folowing the blood trail.lol just make sure you in salt water lol.it would be bad of you was draggin a nice sized chunk of bloody meat and looked behind you and seen a 10 foot gator lookin at you .ouch.das when you pop in the 40 round banna clip and let loose . fried gator tails for super.

Re: Rats &amp; Beavers

the way your supose to use them mothe balls is to put them in a jar and pop a few holes in the lid then place tha jar's in diferent areas around the yard . it does work for rodents . but you don't wanna put a bunch all over where your living man the smell will kill you.lol plus it's toxic as ole hell.you are supose to place the jars around the outside of the house like under trees and bushs. and refill it ever so often but they do work it even helps keep snakes away too.just plaes don't scatter them around like plant seeds .lmao.
