Title: P-rod Gets first rattus
Post by: ranchibi on January 31, 2020, 05:43:51 AM
Someone had eaten the PB from the bait station last night so the ding donger was called into action this evening. At a little after 1am it started chiming and lo and behold this big male was nibbling on it. I quickly grabbed the P-rod and loaded it with a JSB RS sleeping pill, turned on the IR, placed Nat Mini on the tripod, and peered thru the scope and yup, still there. He was facing me at a slight angle so I placed the illuminated dot on his forehead and let the pill go...thwap...he wobbles then drops str8 down...a largish 16” male. Shot entered his right ear and out his left side. He had been fighting as his ears are tattered and quite heavy. First one for Nat Mini the P-rod!

You And Your New P-Rod Score a Lethal Hit  &  The Rat Dies In its Tracks.

Very Nicely Done Randall....Excellent shooting on that one.   



Best Wishes - Tom

Nice shooting at the lowest of vermin!


Some day I'll build a rat station and see what i can get. Until then I'll shoot vicariously through your posts.

Luis, thank you very much! It was an easy peazy shot as it basically was nibbling away on the PB and not zipping around, thank goodness!

LOL Carl! And thank you very much! I also live vicariously through others like Luis’s, SteveOh, Paul, Kevin and many others ratting throughout the year! But you should definitely build a bait station as rats are plentiful and fun to deliver sleeping pills to..they also can be quite skittish making it kinda fun to get a bead on them.

Buddy, thank you very much! I’ve only gotten 3 so far this year but they ranged from 15” to 17”! Not a lot but QUALITY....if you can call a rattus quality! LOL!

Another one of Randall's babies christened!  :)  Frankly I had expected a pic of your Prod in its Sunday best and with maybe a little white flower on the scope to celebrate the occasion... OK not a flower but at least some holy oil or water next to it ;D

It didn't take you too long.  It's just that I was faster causing havoc in the backyard critter population with my new Prod than you were  ;D

Harry, I thought about the christening photo, oil, flowers..but it was 1am! LOL! I am so glad I got the P-rod though! It’s better and more fun than I had imagined! It did feel like an eternity before the first rattus!

Nice shot! You inspired me to build a bait station. I’ve got some monster rats climbing around through the bamboo at my place. I creep around and am occasionally able to get a shot off, but they’re so fast and I don’t want to take an unsafe shot towards my neighbor’s property.

Zac! Thank you so much! You will have a blast knowing the station will be your back stop! Makes shooting them a breeze 😉👍. Enjoy!
