Title: Another Fatty!
Post by: Rat Sniper (AKA: PaulT58) on May 24, 2023, 09:40:37 PM
Got this fatty rat this morning!  Interestingly, his fur seems longer than the others I have shot!  He showed up around 7:00 am this morning and succumb to the FX Dreamline Classic!

Congrats! I found one adult and two tiny young rats in my pool. Didn't even have to choot em. The pool did all the work for me.

Thank you Randall!  No, it's wasn't a longitudinal shot, that was blood splatter from him bouncing off the back wall of the feed station after a head shot!  I need to get my cameras working again, this one actually did a little dance before expiring!

I need to teach my pool how to do that!   ;D

Thank you Kevin.  I saw one on the camera the other day, had a really nice shaved line right up his spine, just wondering if that was the one I thought I missed?   :P
