SQUIRELL

The funniest thing that ever happened to me while hunting was when I was about 14 years old. Me and my older brother were squirell hunting on our farm and we seen one about 70 yards away jumping from one tree to another. My brother pulled up his shotgun and took aim. I told him we should get closer but he wouldn't listen. Boom! The shot rang out across the hilltop. The shot took a couple of seconds to reach that far but he hit it. The sqirell fell from the tree top and was grabbing for limbs and trying to stop its fall. We took off running in the direction of the squirell so we wouldnt loose him but when we got up next to the tree he wasn't their. We started searching the entire area step by step, round and round looked just about everywhere within a thirty or forty yard circle and found nothing.We ended up back at the base of the big oak tree that we had shot him out of and were ready to give up when my brother kicked this big piece of fallen bark that was lieing on this small pile of leaves. Squirell!!! we both shouted as we realised that was where he was. The look on my brothers face would have been the funniest thing I ever saw in my life if it wasn't for what happened next. The squirell lunged at my brother and was clinging to his pantleg as he screamed and tried to shake it loose. It was priceless, if I could have gotten that on video we would be millionairs. I could barely control myself I was laughing so hard I almost pissed my pants. He finally shook it loose and it squared off on him again. This time it pushed itself up onto its hind legs and hissed at him. My bro brings the shotgun to his hip in one steady motion and at point blank range blasts the furry little demon with his twelve guage and ended the confrontation. He still gets pissed at me when I tell people how he was almost eaten alive, by a "SQUIRELL".

Late one night with not much damage. Being about 5 miles from town he threw it in the truck. He drove into town heading to a friends home to get help to skin it. He stop at the first and only redlight in town. During this stop , the truck made a little side to side movement. Looked in his mirror and yes the deer was standing up on all four. He jumped out the truck and grabbed the only weapon he could find was the tire tool. One blow to the head and back on the road . His friend shot him minutes later with a .32 . The small deer did have a broken leg so I guess all that was better than dieing in the wild......
