My river has been up and that has forced the rats out into the open. I managed several today including one with a body of around 14"/35cm plus tail and a second of 12"/30cm ... as my neighbour put it "as big as bl***y squirrels!"
What's the largest anyone else has come across?

"The Dromia Rule"
Deer Stalking… reliable word of mouth recommendation from someone you know has undertaken such stalking being offered by a specific syndicate is best. Like other walks of life, stalking has its scammers. E.G., make sure there is deer, of the species sought, on the land being made available; that appropriate insurance is in place; that there is recourse for recompense if it all goes wrong. In addition, obtain and understand terms and conditions; consider the implications of allowing a syndicate leader to be a FAC mentor; make sure ‘coaches’ are suitably qualified; consider the quality of deer management, the construction & execution of a shooting plan and safety; determine if the land is over-shot.
If in doubt, contact BASC or similar.

Re: Big Rats ...
I see a lot of very big & nasty looking ones walking across London bridge every day 
I had to share the corridor of one hotel in Ha-noi with some 10+ inches body long porkers.
Fine establishment it was.

Re: Big Rats ...
Super-sized rodents ! Rats could grow bigger than sheep and weigh same as average Briton.
I am just wondering if they'd be tastier roasted or in a wine stew ?

I normally prefer mine grilled, in a pitta bread with chilli sauce, onion and salad. But only after several pints.froggy wrote:I am just wondering if they'd be tastier roasted or in a wine stew?

Re: Big Rats ...
Belize most probably. Huge bloody things came onto base because idiots were forever leaving food and crap around. However it was the snakes following the rats that were the real problem.
