1st tree rat
« on: December 23, 2007, 02:35:00 PM »
Sittin in the house llistening to the wind blow. Watching the snow fly. I decided forget this, the kids don't wanna go to the movie 'til later ,so...I went for a walk.
 I did take my trusty Red Wing along, wouldn't be right to leave her behind and all.
 Anyway, wind was howling, rabbits were bounding ; not a deer in sight. Then who do I see?
 Atz right, Mr. Bushy Tail. One Tarantula in the quiver and I missed, barely.
 He decides that thing that went by his head weren't no big deal, compared to the walnut he had.
 So, I load a 125 G5 and whoosh..first Game Animal with curve. Good thing it was only 9 paces to the tree.

They are a trophy in their own right. Congrats on a very patriotic squirrel.

Thanks for the kind words.
I've got a whole list of critters to learn from and Mr. Rat has been a fine teacher.
Anybody got a favorite way to umm; cook him?
