I hate squirrels and I'm starting to dislike woodpeckers.

I am a 6 foot, 200 pound grown a$$ man. I have a full man beard and while deer hunting, look like a realtree freakin ninja, packing a .458 SOCOM AR rifle and a .44 mag on my right hip in case the she-it gets real. I'm not sayin I'm a bad-a$$ or anything, but if I ran across someone in the woods who looked like me, I'd give 'em a wide berth.
In spite of all this, I am constantly harassed by bushy tailed tree rats. I don't speak tree rat, but I'm pretty sure they are saying something like, "Hey deer, look out, he's sitting right here!" Or, "Why don't cha back on up outta my acorn patch biatch!" The one little sucker will come within 5-6 feet of me and bark his little head off, I'm pretty sure he is sayin something about my mother, or my ethnic background, but I can't be sure.
We are also blessed to have one of these living in our woods...
When he opens up, it sounds like the beginning of Saving Private Ryan. And they can do about as much damage to a tree as the MG-42 that they sound llike.
Sorry for the rant, but I've been holding that in since opening day of gun season. It's good to have a safe place to go to get things off our chest. I feel better already.
