Default The worlds largest RAT!

Here's a picture of my RAT! Actually, it's a Capybara that I recently took in Argentina. The Capybara is the world's largest rodent! He weighed in at about 150 pounds. They actually use the hide to make nice leather products.


If you are wondering about the large neck wound, that's where the guide told me to shoot him to keep him from getting into the water after the shot. It didn't keep him out of the water, but it all worked out in the end!

Taken at 23 yards with a Jennings Buckmaster Bow at 70-pounds, 2314 Superslam arrow, with 125-grain Spitfire expandable broadhead.
