Anyone stumble across a giant squirrel in their hunts?
This may be the largest I've taken, measured over 12" high sitting.....from tip of his tail to his nose he would be over 24" long. Girth (Chest) measured 10"+....no idea how much he weighed. Had him mounted as proof they do exist.
Looks a lot like the one that attacked me when I was a boy out hunting in my Great Grandmas land near Carey Ohio. Use to be Wyandot Indian land. Very near to where Colonel William Crawford's defeat occurred. Grandpa warned me about going out there with just my 22lr. But I thought it was just a tall tale. CCI stingers wouldn't even penetrate it's pelt. I had to ditch my gear just to lighten the load and get out of there. I can still hear that squirrel following me in the trees (think predator ). Makes the hair on my neck stand up just thinking about it...shiver.
Any you thought those signs in the woods near the Nuke power plant that said RADIATION HAZARD
were just a joke to keep you out of prime squirrel country!
