Florida deer hunter attacked in cabin.
 

I have been hunting big and small game for more than four decades all accross this country. I've always walked, stalked or sat on the ground. Recently I've been having join pains so my boys decided to build me a little hunting house. I hate the idea but thaught it was real nice of them. It is 38"x38"x6' high, with closing windaows and screens, seat and storage shelf (coffe pot and radio optional). Its called Gramp's Cabin (funny). Today I was in Grampa's Cabin watching for deer. Hey this is neat. Comfy, out of the wind, but a bit restrictive for one used to moving. About 15 squirrels call the surrounding area home. I fell asleep and was suddenly awakened by a running noise and then something came from the near tree, thru the window and landed on my chest. When your asleep and a squirrels tail hits you in the chest and the tail hits you in the face the first thing you think is "THERES A BAM BEAR IN THE HOUSE!". For a few seconds there was a lot of activity in that small space as the squirrel was trying to figure a way out and I was doing the same. He/she finally jumped out a window onto another tree and sat there barking at me. Wanna know what happens to a squirrel at "4 yards" with 00 Buck Shot?

Ponce Duh Leon. Only place you can hunt and not realise yer in town. LOL. Couldn't afford to live in the big town of Mossy Head. Have an area all to myself north of town. Would like to hunt once over around Ponce De Leone. Want to do a hunt swap? Steve. [email protected].

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

hee hee giggle giggle.....i know the feeling, but at least i wasnt trapped inside,just on top of my ladder stand....me and that dang squirrel both bout jumped out of our skins...dont you just love em , lol:D

RE: Florida deer hunter attacked in cabin.
 

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.

RE: Florida deer hunter attacked in cabin.
 

I'm actually in the country near Mossy Head (Walton County, north side of base, hwy 285 and I-10/90) and Timbercruiser is over in Holmes County.

RE: Florida deer hunter attacked in cabin.
 

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!

I got in-laws, Or maybe outlaws up in Defuniak, lots prettier country up there than down here.
