Went out to a small shed behind the garage to get a tarp. My wife usually keeps chickens, but something killed the last of them about 4 months ago. The left over high protein chicken feed was put into a brute plastic trash can with a lid. I noticed the lid had been chewed through and there were pine shavings everywhere. I picked up the bag of shavings and the biggest rat I ever saw fell out. I shut the shed door and went for the blackhawk in 45 colt with rat shot. We played hide and seek for a while as I slowly removed items for him to hide behind and I managed to connect with my first shot as he ran for cover.
I have another picture with the SBH next to the rat for size reference, but it won't load for some reason.
