I just got home from a 3 hour sit looking to get a deer before the season ends in a couple days, and I figured you guys would like this story:
I got in the stand around 3:00, and after 2 hours or so of the occasional squirrel, I made the call to leave with at least some squirrel meat.
Soon after, a nice fatty hops over from a tree to my right, and after swapping out my Spitfire with a Judopoint, I took the shot...Nice 20 yard kill (my first squirrel taken with the compound) that dropped him right off the branch he was sitting on. I nock the spitfire again and hope for some deer to come by before it get's too dark.
After about 25 minutes, a damn fox comes from my left and scoops up the squirrel…WITH my arrow still through it and takes off. I guess it dropped it off at its den or something because he came back looking for more food 5 minutes later.
Son of a bitch managed to not only steal some nice meat from me but my arrow and judopoint too! [wallmad]
Pretty entertaining day considering I didn't see any deer [up]
