Indoor squirrel hunting


I left the door open for a few minutes to let in some air - next thing i knew i was in a life or death struggle with a vicious lightening fast rodent. At one point towards the end you see a shot of the leg of my jeans - it was at that point it sprang at my leg and tried to climb me like a tree - mercifully I was able to swat it before it reached the chewy parts... Picture quality is not great but the video was shot under extreme duress. Last minute or so picture breaks up - see part 2 the Final Battle.

  1. OMG - the fly swatter - what were you thinking? Brought tears to my eyes! Wish I had the forethought to get a camera when I was chasing the rat in our house that, by the way, I cought with my hands!

  3. ...still enjoying the videos sans sound, so there's kind of a strong suggestion that the reason the picture fragments into pure vivid colors is the type of language DG was using when the cornered squirrel decided to climb the English Oak. Yep, definitely have to see this one again with sound... BTW when you get to more civilized parts of the world, can we have a video on Indoor Beaver Hunting?
