Default RE: Ever been attacked by an animal?

A buddy of mine and I were bow hunting an old disc run over field of cucumbers. We were seeing deer like crazy that evening. Well about an hour and a 1/2 before dark I hear eeeeaahhhhhyah A shriek/scream of sorts. I thought what they heck.... Then a few mins later a squireel was barking incessantly, then it was quiet. The doe i was watching lifter her head toward the noise and listened and stared that way then moved off in the opposite direction.

Later when we got down I asked him what was that. He told me that he was sitting in a pine tree minding his own business. He hears a squirrel fussing about above him. Then all of a sudden this 6ft long black snake falls down across his lap. He is mortified. Normally he isn't that fearful of snakes (if you hang around me it pays to at least not show it....). So this snake has fallen across his lap, he then begins a sort of humping, jumping dance to get the snake off his lap without touching it. He succeeds probably because the snake is stunned from the 30 ft fall onto his lap. The snake hits the ground after another 20 foot fall and then lays there a couple of mins. About that time the squirrel comes running down the tree begins barking at the snake and the snake crawls off. The squirrel comes back up the tree stops right in front of my buddy and begins barking at him. Scared the crap out of him too. He doesn't move and finally the squirrel runs back up the tree presumably back to a nest.

The result of this and the look on his face as he told what I heard almost made me wet my britches....
