No shots taken but look at the size!

I just could not drag my sorry carcass out of bed, so no trophy for me. But look at this video! Holy mother of all rats. For size comparison look at a mouse and normal size rats on the same station.

That's a big one  , going by the tail, it looks like a Sewer/Norway Rat, but hard to say for sure as the tail is curled..

Why not screw down a RAT trap & on the following morning shoot said rat for good measure

This station has mouse activity during the day, so an hour ago I put out mouse traps. Doh!

It looks like you are going to need a bigger gun.

I "googled" giant rats and ran across this photo:



Let's hope they don't start getting that big here.

I served in the military for 23 years.  I didn't see any action but could put up with a lot of miserable conditions.  I think I could have also tolerated life in the trenches of WWI except for one thing that would give me the shivers - RATS!

Here's the link to the story for the photo below.  I don't know that I will get much sleep tonight after reading this:  https://rarehistoricalphotos.com/trench-rats-killed-terrier-1916/

OK,

Steve, that big one looks like a female about ready to pop out another litter,
better get her quick......

You better get a BIGGER rat trap, or provide some headache pills, in the form of lead......

I guess it's time to put the 22 cal's and break out the 50 cal's, (on the mother of ALL rats)
I would think a a good 22 cal smacked right square between the running lights, might do the trick'
and I would have the 12 ga as a backup. 

Looks like a average sized Nutria etc.
