Clint that reminds me of my first hunt with my dad. Actually my dad wasn’t much into hunting. He was always to busy working to hunt.
Us kids did have a pellet gun and even though we were really young, we could hit what we were aiming at with it. One night dad said we were going hunting. We put on our barn clothes and each carried a flashlight. We went to the barn and didn’t turn on any lights. Just shined our flashlight. We went to the the where we stored the oats to feed our calves. Just shining the flashlight and stopping it’s beam on  mice. They would freeze in the light. Then we would shoot them with the pellet gun. I still  can see it. Well over fifty years ago. It was a little creepy, but it was a great hunt with my old man. We then shined the light in the rafters and shot sparrows. Later in life my dad started to do a little hunting as he had more time, since us grown kids did more of the work. I went deer hunting with him a few times. I don’t recall any of those hunts as much as I do the mouse hunt. Just proves to me. It’s more about the hunt than the trophy.

PS we didn’t use the same method for deer. Just in case your wondering.lol

That's because the Rats eat the Mice.  I came across a Rat's nest once in my Grandmother's barn.  Inside were Mouse bones and some of their skins turned inside out.  It was a very strange thing
