Good job    :thumbsup:
For God was in Christ, reconciling the world to himself, no longer counting people’s sins against them. And he gave us this wonderful message of reconciliation.

Have you gotten a P&Y net score yet on the rat  :) !  Looks like it might be pushing book for the Florida variation!

Great shooting!

Bob,  

I have had it green scored but there has been some disagreement by the P&Y Club as to an additional tooth alongside one of the front teeth. Given the extraordinary tail length combined with the teeth and nubbins it may exceed even the Boone and Crocket number one!
Either way it will be the New number 1 State of Florida Norway Rat!
I will submit the skull to Compton, too.

THAT is one helluva shot Tnut    :clapper:  

Hope you've been humble and handling all the hype and media pressure in stride...not everyday that a Trad guy like u makes such a superhuman shot on such an elusive and dangerous big game animal as the Massimus Raticus!

Looks like the shot was a little forward, might have ruined the cape for the shoulder  mount!  That was an awesome shot, looks like you know how to have a good time!!!!
