Behemoth rattus #17

[Rat Sniper (AKA: PaulT58)]

Funny you mentioned Possoms scaring away the Rats...  My Critter Cam captured this unlikely dinner party at the feed station last night!



The Possom was probably wondering where that guy with the air gun was, because he typically dines on the Rats, not with them!   

This one is a pretty brazen Rat!

LOL Paul! Great video! That rat probably thought that possum was just an enormous rat at first....😂! Steveoh had a video of a rat he had shot and when a possum got near the dead rat it pounced on it from about 2 feet away, so yeah, that was one ballzy rat! Happy New Year 🎆 🎈 Paul to you and your loved ones! I do have a rat coming around also but possums have been out so it is very inconsistent in appearing....soon.....😉

Randall, I have seen the Posssoms here pounce on a dead rat also.  They also like to grab and go, snatching the dead rat and then high tail it into the woods to eat in peace!  The Possom in that video is an old guy, he's been around for a few years, shows up right about the same time every night  and not much bothers him.  I'm pretty sure he is the Alpha Male Possom in that section of woods.

I should be back in business soon if the Posssoms stay away.

Paul, that's so cool! We get a lot of road kill possums here in the city, glad yours has been around awhile!

Oh yeah Jesse! Your big ole black rats are back! The possums have been around here too keeping the rats away for the most part. Hope you get some footage of your dispatches!
