Thumped him right between those beady little eyes!  Love the explosion of light at impact! LOL!  Great shot!

I thought maybe he was a suicide rat and exploded when you hit him.

Thanks Gents!

Sure made a mess of the peanut butter station. Funny thing, about five mutes after I retrieved the rat and put away the marauder another Rattus showed up. I let it slide so as to keep them around.

Cleanup crew did not show up.  :o

My city cleanup crew is very lazy and inconsistent...less than 50% at best!

Yes I use only the soft underbelly fur of the rattus to weave my clogs. :)

I spotted activity last night, and went and fetched the Marauder. Sat in the shooting chair and was surprised to see 1,2,3,4 Rattus Rattus running around the fresh peanut all excited and happy. I sat and gave it a chance to sink in. Looks like one parent and three kids. I think this last rat I shot was maybe parent number two. I’m inclined to let them be for a while and to not kill one when the others are present. Don’t want to shut it down. Four Rats!
