Does that squirrel have a mouthful of hawk leg??  The hawk is only using one foot to hold him.

Very cool brother Bill!  We need to get together soon.  Season is almost over and stump shooting will be great without the snow!!

Selfbow, just when I thought it was over, the squirrel suddenly started fighting pretty hard but the ole hawk really put the squeeze on him but fast. Tim, I'll give you a call as soon as I shake this flu bug,looking forward to it.

My wife spotted a very large red tailed hawk with "something in its talons" land on a downed tree trunk on the hillside across from the house the other day. Turned out to be a hawk with a squirrel. We watched him with binoculars as he had his meal.

Wished we would have got pics.

Great video. Thanks for posting it.

I saw two red tailed hawks once on a squirrel hunt. I was sitting quietly under a huge red oak on the edge of a pine forest. There was a squirrel's nest in one of the pine trees near the red oak. One of the hawks landed on a limb very close to the nest while the other one hopped on top of the nest and bounced up and down, trying to run a squirrel out. No squirrel came out, but if he had, the other hawk was waiting and ready for a squirrel supper. I was amazed that they actually hunted in pairs.

Had a hawk sweep down at a squirrel one day while deer hunting.  Scared the mess out of me and the squirrel.
