I will start out saying I'm at my parents up in Arkansas.
A few minutes ago I went wandering the field in search of rabbits to pop with my .22 pistol.
Well I didn't see any rabbits so i started going back to the house, and I scared a rat up.I raised up and fired right before he ran down a hole.Surprising to me I got him.Well, since I got him I decided I would skin him out.(I've skinned out a fox and a coon before this so I figured i would get some practice.Besides no use wasting a perfectly good rat pelt.) Well the skinning process was uneventful, a little tricky because the shot broke him and his back legs came off. But I think it's the best job of skinning I've done. But I did leave him his tail. Now his pelt is in my mom's freezer.(I'm sure she appreciates it)
Now does anybody know what I can make with a rat pelt? A computer mouse cover maybe.

why would a rabbit pop up with your .22?
You shouldn't leave it laying around... armed rodents are dangerous.
