Several years back I was reading an article a guy wrote about squirrel hunting from a boat in Tennesee. Guy really had a way with words that made me really enjoy the story until he said that squirrels that fell in the creek floated. I stopped reading right there.

I've hunted along creeks all my life and have gone out of my way to not shoot one that would fall in the water. Even so, some have and I've never seen a dead one float. What's your experience?
