Squirrel season started yesterday here in Va. So my buddy Darrell and I went after ‘em.
He had done some scouting and told me that they’d be in the hickories cutting hickory nuts. Sure enough when we got in the woods we heard ‘em gnawing away…..
At one point I had shot at this one squirrel three -yes, I said three- times when Darrell went around the tree it was hiding in, only to spook two of them in my direction. They hopped from tree to tree, ending up in a big white oak which they ran around [the trunk] a number of times, during the 1st trip around I came to about a quarter draw and then ‘bout doubled over laughing at the situation. Finally one stopped on my side of the tree and I launched a blunt at him, only to miss by inches, my arrow getting hung in the tree……Oh well it’ll blow out of there at some time ……….
All in all we had a blast even though we didn’t manage to kill anything other than time.
After probably 15 shots we had broken three arrows, lost two –well one of ‘em’s not really lost but is stuck up a tree….heck I had a great time !!
