L&T question -- Chapter 22 -- Rat-hunting? Written by Cathy Allen (10/30/2008 10:47 a.m.)

Charles is speaking of Capt. Benwick, that he had gotten to know him better, and liked him as a result: "...We had a famous set-to at rat-hunting all the morning in my father's great barns."

Rat-hunting?! It seems rather much ado about nothing (to borrow a phrase from Shakespeare). Was a this common amusement for young men?
