A Large Rat Down: My Personal Record

[ThirdPlace]

Hey, Check this one out: Last night, this guy came around. I know your all have seen and killed larger, but—around here—this one is a whopper.

Got it with my workhorse FX Impact in .25 and a ATN night scope.

Is he marinating in the fridge right now with you favorite sauce?

 

[Squirrelmageddon]

Dam that's one girthy rat!

 

[Ranchibi]

Oh YEAH! That qualifies as a ratzilla ! I too snipe them in my back yard, the big ones are few and far between! Great shot and pic with size comparison!

Alas, no. And, yuck!

Looks pretty big to me and it had a healthy girth.

@ThirdPlace What’s the blue object next to it?

Looks like a Fenix E35 to me.

@EdinGa If that's the case the rat is about 6" - 7" long in the body. That's a large rat.

Wide angle phone lenses can play tricks with dimensions, but I'd say that's a pretty good estimation.

Sharing rat pics?

This was also done with an .25 impact. Detuned to a light pellet shooting slow, only 600fps. Short shooting distance probably only 15 yards.

Low power .25 is awesome for close range pesting. Good shooting!

@ThirdPlace What’s the blue object next to it?

The blue object is a flashlight for scale.

I believe you are correct.

I shot this guy with my prod with a Wraith mini of my deck at a bait zone about 12 yards away. I plan on setting up a few more motion detectors at some other safe areas to take shots at.
