Yes the three rats we took out of the pond were just prime. Still some black but in good shape. Our Canadian rule of thumb is any month with an R is good for rats.
Last we checked they were only bringing $8 bucks. A warm year like this and numbers will go back up. Rabies is making a big come back in the racoon here. Over populating. I know of three good trees I could get 20 right now but not worth the time unless the boys want to learn.
Cheers Don.
