While tree rat hunting I have touched 2 in 20+ years .
While hunting from a pit blind last year I shot a doe at 4'
Reminds me of a time when my oldest brother and I were heading out to do some squirrel hunting and I saw a nice gray squirrel chase another into a hole in the side of a tree. Well the bully had his leg sticking out so I snuck over and grabbed its foot!
My brother and I laughed as that squirrel tried to hold onto that tree as I pulled him out....of course then my much older brother (think I was like 12-13) wasn't laughing at the squirrel...he was wondering what I was going to do with it once I pulled it out of the tree! LOL
One bare hand vs one pissed off gray squirrel! Guess who was going to win that battle! hehe I laughed and just let the squirrel climb back into that hole. (saved my fingers that way!)
