Vicious Squirrel Attack

Hope the link works, but this guy and his wife were assaulted by a squirrel!

"Animal control officers have been patrolling the area, searching for the squirrel. Warning flyers have also been posted." I want one of the flyers for my deer camp

 

Article says was a life or death fight.... Must be a real slow news day. I know the couple was older and guy got scratched up but come on. A

 

I keep thinking of the scene from "Christmas Vacation". Where's cousin Eddie when you need him...

 

What's sad is that we've hit a point in America where 1) Squirrel attacks make news 2) it's considered a "life and death struggle" and 3) no one has at least a pellet gun to end the reign of terror the squirrel is apparently doing.

 

I imagine pellet guns are illegal in San Fran... Don't know that though. I know if I have the opportunity to wrap my hand around the animal attacking me, it won't be attacking any more. When he said he threw it and it was stunned I assumed they were going to say he stepped on it... Nope. This murderous beast still runs around

 

@gizmo I know right, the fact that a squirrel has had an reign of terror on any human population scares me for our country.

 

Well there you have it. Rockin G Ranch will now be offering dangerous game squirrel hunt. Inquire only if you dare. Minimum caliber 375 H&H.

 

I used to own a trained pack of squirrel dogs (american Treeing Feists) that would have gladly ended this squirrels rampage.

My quote is not working right

@gizmo if you cam promise me a squirrel charge im in!!

 

Well apparently they're vicious killers so it should go without saying you will be charged. Big 5 watch out there's a new sheriff in town.

 

@gizmo should I bring solids? Is a bolt gun or a double preferred when chasing this beast?

 

Definitely a double with solids. Only thing that can stop a vicious squirrel charge.

 

This whole thing reminds me of the killer rabbit scene from montey Python and the search for the holy Grail.

 

Sounds like the same squirrel that Ray Stevens let loose at the Church Revival in Mississippi.

 

@lbgsafaris ,

I told you about a month ago how dangerous these things were and you laughed at me.

Anybody ever seen a double barrel pellet gun?

 

I did a quick google search and it does appear that it is illegal to own a pellet gun in San Fransisco. At least it was just a few years ago.

I've actually been charged by a ground squirrel when I was a teenager. I was in Yellowstone on one of the platform trails near Old Faithful. This squirrel came running at me chirping up a storm and started clawing at my socks and ran away when I tried to kick it. It was one of the funniest things I have ever seen.

 

That's some funny sh** right there.

 

If anyone makes a double pellet gun that has half decent lines to it I'll be the first in line to buy it

 

Lol I haven't heard either one of those in years. Lmfao thanks ya'll

 

Here are the three main species of dangerous North American squirrels.
1) wolf squirrel 2) lion squirrel 3) Kung Fu squirrel
All of which are highly dangerous and extreme caution should be used around them.
