Suddenly my barn cats seemed very hungry. I had to refill food bowl a couple mornings in a row when usually once a week was enough. Couldn't find my pruning shears, hammer was on the floor and several feet away from where I put it last. Missing nails, screw driver, baling twine. Garbage bucket knocked over and scattered. Hmmm seems like a big one for sure. Set trap and caught it sometime during the night. He was HUGE! No wonder the cats were leaving this one alone! I am hoping the one they did catch was his mate. Couldn't imagine a whole nest of these! He died in the "have a hart" trap. Seems the cats harassed him while in the cage overnight. Nice kitties, nice Twisted Evil

Glad you got him. They sure do sink! We had a big one here too. Our cat wouldn't touch it but I think the big, ranch tom came up and got it.
They remind me a bit of the possum we had in Australia.

If you trap another take a picture, I would like to see what these things look like.
I don't think we have pack rats here, but never know... Glad you got him trapped, I heard they can make a big mess of your buildings and such.
