Jim.
Congratulations. I got my first trad kill the same way, just the other day. No photo's unfortunately but a perfect head shot. The little bugger kept coming into the kitchen of the camp where I live. Can't have hairy tailed rats in the kitchen so the stalk was on and made the shot. Other cooks (city folk) just didn't understand  :bigsmyl:   Great shooting and go get some more.

Tree Rat hunting is lots of fun. It's a good test of your big game bow and arrow combo also.
