Default Who's got squirrel-trapping experience?

The message
from "alan.holmes" contains these words:

And if you can't hit a rat in the head with an airgun pellet at
point-blank-range, you shouldn't be in charge of the thing.


Unfortunately tree rats do not stand still, they RAPIDLY run from one
end of
the trap to the other, you'd be very lucky to hit one to kill it in
just one
shot.


You just stand/kneel at one end of the trap, and the sqrl stays at the
other.


I'll try to bear that in mind the next time I catch one, the problem is,
that I will have forgotten I read that when it does happen.

One of the problems of old age!
