Life stops and I go after these guys with a passion when they show up in camp or at home. I have skipped a full day at work when I found one in my garage.

Pack or bushy tailed woodrats. They can do more damage to camp or a parked rig than one can imagine. This one (of 4 taken) went after my Leatherman sheath and some leather gloves in camp last week. Mess with the bull and one gets the horn.

For scale the trap plank is 7 inches long. The next rat taken had about an 8 inch long body and larger girth, but I did not snap a photo.

These guys will put up a fight when cornered, and I've not known many cats that will take one on.
