It was only a .22, and I heal fast.

The squirrel probably laughed at him or yelled at him afterward. I kicked a rather aggressive red squirrel one out of the bird feeder and window screen and he climbed up a tree and started chirping at me. Anyone have fried squirrel?

When I was at MSU and there was a parklike area with a ton of squirrels with no fear of people. I stopped to take a look and a gray one jumped on my leg. Luckily I was wearing long pants.

That was my first thought!

(I love stories like this, starts the day with a laugh.)
