Great weekend of sage rat fun

Post by majcl5 »

We had about as good a weather as you can have 60's sun and no wind and lots of critters. Also some fun with video :D
This one had some great lift Image

When you click on any of them, the host site says "This video has been removed by the owner".......

But it's good to hear you had a good shoot also. I was there at the same time.....ideal/perfect weather for shooting rats! Already have all my cases loaded back up and ready for rat engagement again soon. :D
