Unusual Event

[Caustic Burno]

Today as I was lowering my rifle out of the stand sling broke, resulting in it falling about 12 feet.
I figured O crap that Vortex scope has bit the bullet and died.
Got back to the house set up a target at 100 yards got my shooting table out to check zero.
Fired three shots and I had knocked my scope off as it was shooting low and to the left.
Made the necessary adjustment's and fired the fourth. After the forth shot sounded like a
hog liver landing in a wash tub next to me.
I said what in the world was that? A fox squirrel had fell out of the oak my table was under dead.
Guess the 30-06 gave him a heart attack. I skinned him out not a mark on him anywhere.
I am kind of scared to eat him not knowing for sure what caused his demise.
Told the Mrs. I will just boil it for DD.
I have seen rabbits keel over and die when cornered or scared never a squirrel.

We've seen squirrels fall out of trees and hit wrong and never move again. Some run around in circles and live, some act funny. That Is weird

 

[highgrit]

I wouldn't eat it. How do you know what really happened to it?

I'm not don't have a clue to what happened.
He just landed by the table, I don't know if he screwed up in a jump somehow
or just died. I have never seen a fox squirrel screw up a jump.
I have seen them bale out of the top of a tall pine and hit the ground running.

I have seen them lose their footing on cables and fall.

Maybe that scope was further off then you thought and you barked him

No I was hitting the paper at 100 yards.
He fell beside me. It was just strange.

Sounds like an Indian Medicine Man curse. You may lose them all.

Sounds like some voodoo from 3wayvee little sister to me....

 

[Caustic Burno]

Haven't heard an Owl.
Never know reservation is right down the road might have to get a medicine man.

Wouldn't be good to make that half Indian woman that lives here made either
no tellin what she might conjure up.
If it had't been for squirrels and venison they would have starved to death growing up.

That could make DD really mad.
Cause she loves to hunt them more than I do after I finally got her off rabbits.
Little dog is smart she know's when I get my black powder shotgun we are going squirrel hunting.
I guess she has learned to associate my possible bag with the hunt.
Got to the point that is all I hunt them with. We get two or three for a pot of dumplings that is enough.

Don't shyt yourself. Her throwing that evil eye from Arizona to east Texas would just be a warm up exercise.

Might be my x SIL as well.
BIL first wife actually practiced Voodoo.
She also claimed to be a witch.
That was a scary messed up woman.
I ask my BIL many times what kind of spell did she put on him.
Ask if her maiden name was Marie Laveau.

Careful there--that evil eye look would have to pass awful close to me on it's way over to CB's neck of the woods.
I might better cal my daughter-in-law over in Breau Bridge and get me a grisgris.

When I had the gun shop I also had a Psringer Saniel that loved to hunt. If took out a shotgun or a customer brought one in she would go nuts wanting to go hunting. Rifles she wouldn;t even raise her head. Didn;t matter if it was a single shot, SxS, O/U, bolt action, pump, whatever. Shotguns just tripped her trigger.

A pot of squirrel and dumplings. Man, that sounds good during this cold day, sounds so good.

 

[Caustic Burno]

HD that is pretty hard to bet.
DD and I are going to beat around in the woods just as soon as it quits raining.

Dun I think for centuries we have under estimated the intelligence of a dog.
Out of all domestic animals none hold a candle in understanding a human like the dog.

That old squirrel was setting up on a limb watching you shoot. He got to laughing so hard he fell out of the tree and broke his neck. :lol2:

Bingo..I think you nailed it Kenny. I'm just glad he didn't land "ON" CB's shoulder.
