Boy HotRod reminds me of the days we use to store ears of corn in the corncrib. Biggest rats I have ever seen but during the winter time one of my jobs was to clean out the cattle tank because the rats would try to get a drink and fall in. If the d+++ things were still swimming I would wait until the next day.
