Deer stand, squirrel names

[Jimmy0315]

I am setting in the deer stand woundering if anyone else names the squirrels that run around next to you.

So far this session I have named almost every one of them around me. And I now we are friends.

There is Frank, Steve, Little John, and of course there girl friends.

I can relate, sometimes the squirrels are the only things that you see up in the stand. There is this one squirrel that hangs out by my stand, he looks like a football he is so fat.

 

[Six Shooter Steve]

Yeah I name them alright, it's usually some obscene name though! Man those squirrels drive me crazy sometimes.

 

[Dead Duck]

You know, you probably shouldn't drink when your in a deer stand.

 

[Constructionist]

Any time someone asks me where to look for squirrels, I don't mention certain times of day or types of trees. I simply tell them to go deer hunting.

 

[Que]

I hate squirrels and I'm starting to dislike woodpeckers.

Truth.

There was a really awesome little woodpecker that I was watching in the stand about 5 yds to my right on a rotting tree. Probably trying to find a place to sleep. He was pretty awesome.

I am a 6 foot, 200 pound grown a$$ man. I have a full man beard and while deer hunting, look like a realtree freakin ninja, packing a .458 SOCOM AR rifle and a .44 mag on my right hip in case the she-it gets real. I'm not sayin I'm a bad-a$$ or anything, but if I ran across someone in the woods who looked like me, I'd give 'em a wide berth.

In spite of all this, I am constantly harassed by bushy tailed tree rats. I don't speak tree rat, but I'm pretty sure they are saying something like, "Hey deer, look out, he's sitting right here!" Or, "Why don't cha back on up outta my acorn patch biatch!" The one little sucker will come within 5-6 feet of me and bark his little head off, I'm pretty sure he is sayin something about my mother, or my ethnic background, but I can't be sure.

We are also blessed to have one of these living in our woods...

When he opens up, it sounds like the beginning of Saving Private Ryan. And they can do about as much damage to a tree as the MG-42 that they sound llike.

Sorry for the rant, but I've been holding that in since opening day of gun season. It's good to have a safe place to go to get things off our chest. I feel better already.

Take a .22 and name them "Dinner", "Dinner", "Dinner", "Breakfast"?

 

[ocsdor]

All of my squirrels are named "peanut". Whenever I call their name, they come running to me.

 

[michaeladkins]

No, I can't say I name them. I do think about shooting them all the time, then I come back to reality and know I will get much more meat from a deer if I just stay still. Well, and get lucky! :-)

Wow. That has to be the best response ever. :-)
