My parents have been after this rat for almost a year now, we have tried everything!! The poop in the garage, the holes in the garden the random food chewed into is enough to drive a person insane.
Well tonight while out side I spotted this big girl eating bird seed under a bush. I searched the house high and low for a "safe" gun to dispatch her then I remembered I hadn't cleaned my truck from yesterday and my bow was still there. The shot was 8yrds I stuck her just behind the diaphram, while trying to get her out of the bush she escaped but was soon dispatched with a boot. I haven't had the best deer season so was pretty excited hahaha


My bow was a BW 52#s at 26" with AD lite arrows and 300grn field point up front.

Oh that's P&Y for sure. And good eating. The only ones you shouldn't eat are NYC rats!
Nice work!

Heck yea! Good shootin! Don't worry about being a little bit back on the shot, They got a pretty small kill zone anyways!   :thumbsup:

Good shot! Unfortunately, where there is one....

Well, congrats on a good shot, and let us know how it fries up!    :scared:    :scared:    :laughing:

Now that is a story and a fine kill! Congratulations!

I recommend doing a European mount on her.

Good shot.  Kill zone of a quarter, not a 9" circle.  Now you need to make a rug out of it !
