After they filtered away I noticed the squirrels were quite active as a rain storm closed in. One large individual too to taunting me directly below my stand. I fired a cedar just barely missing and curling my bear razorhead on a rock like it was made from aluminum foil.
The rain got heavier and I checked the weather radar.....it was NOT going to subside.
I climbed down and packed up deciding to look for squirrel on my way back to the truck.
I was on my knees climbing through some multiflora when I noticed a grey squirrel chasing this larger fox squirrel around a tree to my front. The fox stopped leaning out on it's front legs but completely broadside on the tree. I leaned forward, drew, and all in one motion released. My arrow hit with a thump and the squirrel took several bounds up the tree before releasing and falling to the ground dead. Perfect heart shot behind the front leg.
I piled him into my back quiver as the rains started really coming down. What a great way to save a rainy hunt. This guy will be added to some future stew yum!
