Rat Pucking???

[Butch]

Should I wear protection, Blakduke?

No, but you should consider wrapping your rat.

[Merlin the Elder]

How does one puck a wrapped rat?

[BLAKDUKE]

Only from rice burns or the occasional thrown pucking stick.

I adopted one of his rats....HRM Queen Elizabeth at the late NCRF named him Shiraz. He travels to different faires with me .

The Kentucky Renaissance Festival does rat pucking both days on the weekends when they are open.

Rowen:

Not a problem.   Go online and look up rat-pucking and/or Jim Greene.  Get his address, I believe it is in Upstate New York.  This will be a good time to reach him as he is most likely doing Sterling and goes home during the week.  He will no doubt sell/adopt you a rat and mail it to you.  He did for me when I lost my first rat 'Mortimer' in Atlanta some years ago.  As to a stick again no problem.  Go out in the woods and find youself a length of blow down, a stout branch is good, a piece that would make a good walkng staff.    Strip the bark from it, sand it smooth, varnish or shellac, notch the end as I have described above and viola you have a dual purpose piece, a walking staff and a pucking stick.  Where are you located BTW....

The BLAKDUKE 

In Omaha.  I would like to see it at Des Moines faire too.
  Would he by chance also provide rules for the game, as well as 'official' rats?

[BLAKDUKE]

All that you ask for can be obtained from the master of all rat puckers.  Omaha is a bit far from me but if you have a hard time making a stick mayhap if I can find the time I could make you one and ship it to you.
