Got this one the other night. 15 mtrs I set up a dim LED on the bird feeder. and kept checking it with the binos. Dropped like a stone.  I killed 8 in two weeks and thought that was it ,but they are back after about two mnths.  I will try and show restraint and limit my kill......lest i kill em all again.

That's a nice shot, considering the small target area.  Pace yourself buddy.  Leave some for later.

2 great pics, thanks for the rat closeup. Sweet placement. They do seem to run in waves.

Great shot!!!  Don't worry about running out,  these things are super prolific.  Just 1 female can have up to a dozen pups in a litter and 5 litters in a year.  That's a whole lotta shooting.  Enjoy
