Is there a Norway Rat population located in around Twin Falls county for shooting opportunities with an air rifle?
I know they would be hunted at night and what is the procedure to obtain permission to do this type of hunting?
Answer:
I am not aware of any large populations of norway or brown rats in Twin Falls. Additionally, this type of rat tends to be closely tied to urban populations, and human concentrations. the City of twin Falls has ordinances preventing shooting in city limits. It is my understanding that these ordinances would include air rifles as well.
