junior 267 Posted July 27, 2012 Report Share Posted July 27, 2012 That it does, but if the trap was 8" and you estimate the jaw size, that rat has a good sized napper, we could argue the toss all night but "I'm a believer!!" Would still like to see other pics or a confirmed measurement, atb will a french rat do lol is that a fox trap in the back ground....well camoed lol Quote Link to post
04fox8 168 Posted July 27, 2012 Report Share Posted July 27, 2012 Many moons ago when I was young, there was an old 'farm' dump beside us up an old side road. We were out with pellet guns looking for crows, doos and the like and at the dump there were a few BIG rats there. Not as big as that last photo, granted, but I'd say easily around the size of the one posted originally. Quote Link to post

Britishbull24 131 Posted July 28, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 28, 2012 Like i say we used to have a fair few big rats around the camp. Unlimited food and no predators. im not sure whether the trap actually killed it or just held it there long enough for one of the lads the run it through with a pitch folk. We used to have those sticky pads dotted around the place that accounted for a fair few aswell. Wish i had a few terriers back then. Lol Quote Link to post
