A couple squirrel related things to share, (since I'm overseas -not military- and missing my squirrel hunting):
I was recently in Thailand and saw a Thai Giant Black Squirrel. Holy Moly! It was a good yard long with tail! Apparently they can weigh up to 6lbs. It was on the ground then bolted for a tree and there was an enormous leaf nest up there.
Here's a neat video. Reminded me of my squirrel woods back east I spent countless hours in growing up. There was a redtail I shared those woods with who was also a very effective squirrel hunter.

Nothing more surprising than a redtail tumbling down through the tree limbs after a frantic squirrel! Great video, its a great primer for the upcoming squirrel season. A reminder that they live it everyday, its what makes them so challenging to hunt.
That was absolutely outstanding,everything about it was perfect.
Unbelievable!
Good Shooting,
Craig

Yeah, I always have mixed, or competing, feelings about seeing predation up close and personal too. Nothing wrong with that; it's a big part of being human, I think. I appreciate the fact that my young son could snuggle the classroom bunny and then come home and gnarf down a cottontail leg.
Great video
Brought a tear to the eye
is that weird or what? :clapper:

That was excellent !!! but I'll admit to be a big Raptor fan !!!
Very cool! Had the whole family glued to the screen.
Wow Thanks
Not trying to hijack, but, does anyone know where to order one of those metal squirrel whistles ? They look like a circle with a hole in it you blow into.
