Florida deer hunter attacked in cabin.

RE: Florida deer hunter attacked in cabin.
Last weekend I was sitting in a stand watching about 8 squirrels play when finally after 3 days of hunting a doe walks out. So I'm doing my best great white hunter routine when I hear a squirrel coming down the tree I'm in. I'm looking at the deer and all of a sudden the squirrel jumps on my head onto the next tree! So I'm now thinking that just didn't happen did it? Well the little fella performed his routine one more time and I was about to crack up. Fortuantely the doe was too small and he didn't spook her. Funny story though. Gary

Too funny!! That would have been hilarious. I'm surprised that he did it two times. It's amazing how the squirrels aren't afraid of much of anything....just a gun after it's left in pieces.

Mosseyhead and Timbercruise are Ponce and Defuniak in Okaloosa county? Been awhile since I lived that part of the country, about 30 years, but I seem to remember they are close to F.W.B. and the big, green football machine of Choctaw. Small world.

I've driven many times thru Walton county driving from Atlanta and Nashville to FWB to visit my mom who still lives there. 331 from Montgomery to Fla and 90 to Crestview ( I think that is correct). How is the duck hunting down there? Wild part of the country squirrels and all.

Hey Mossyhead,
I'd loved to have seen that! Isn't it great how squirrels can put a little entertainment in what otherwise might have been a "boring" day? Though I suppose sometimes boring is preferable.
I was once sitting on a bench in a "home built" stand on my Uncle's property. It was a cold January day with snow falling in Pennsylvania's muzzleloading season. I'd been there for several hours watching trails....but only the squirrels were moving. This one gray fella that had been scurrying around on and off all morning suddenly came up the tree I was in. I just continued sitting quietly with the .54 T/C Renegade across my lap...muzzle down. Within a couple minutes the squirrel had made his way up the tree, onto the stand, and stood there staring at me.....2" from the muzzle. The contortions he performed when I "poked" him with that muzzle and shouted Boooooo, would be the envy of every circus clown. I didn't see any deer that morning....but I must have laughed for two hours. After the squirrel "landed with a KERPLOP" (we were about 25 feet in the air), he quickly found cover and spent the next hour or so letting me know what he thought! I still laugh to this day when I think of it.
Oooohhhhh the memories!
