Silver Lake/Xmas Valley Rats

Just talked to a rancher friend near Silver Lake, and he said the rats were up. He thought that the females were down having first litters and that in 2-3 weeks the shooting would be really good. Xmas Valley, Fort Rock and Silver Lake would be on the same schedule. Check out my archive section on the pivoting rifle rests I build, and the proper procedures on the ranchers property. And, by the way. You don't have to pay to shoot sage rats. The ranchers that try to charge you are dreaming. Most will welcome you if you are a responsible shooter. Just don't screw up.
