A friend was shed hunting yesterday and heard something cracking branches above his head. He looks up and sees a gray squirrel tumbling down. It hits the ground with a thud, twitches for 30 seconds and lies still, deader than a door nail.
WTF??
I saw a gray squirrel fall out of a tree one time when it jumped for a limb. It hit the ground and ran off no worse for wear!
Yep, I've seen cat squirrels haul ass and bail out from 30 ft high, spread out legs and tail to coast a bit and hit the ground hauling ass to get away to a den tree with holes. They often make a challenging target even for a shotgun running through switchcane, dead limbs, over logs....
