how the hell did they film this?

[dorminWS]

Obviously, they couldn't have; it must be a compilation of video clips. But it's pretty well done. Sort of has you rootin' for the tree rat.

We might need to get your head examined to get rid of any traces of Democrat thoughts such as:
- "Do it for the tree rat!"
- "Tree rats have feelings, too!"
- "If I said you had a beautiful tree rat, would you hold it against me?"

I find myself feeling bad for the hawk that has to go hungry .

I figured if the hawk struck out the tree rat would still be there for us come squirrel season.

snicker, my ass, boy. I expect I've shot damn near as many squirrels as you've seen. And I really did think "save the squirrels for US to hunt" when I posted the OP and it did cross my mind that somebody would misinterpret what I said, but I thought it would be MammabearCallie or TacticlaMom; NOT A GUY!

Hah! I love how riled up people get when they're called a Democrat. You sound just like my wife. She got her panties in a twist over the same insult just a few weeks ago. :p

I try not to use the "D" word. It makes me feel dirty.

I was waiting for a little tree rat carnage... I will admit. LOL

I watched a hawk this past weekend chasing small birds through the trees. Pretty cool. That little bushytail got a temporary reprieve. He'll get his.

I watched a hawk pluck a bat out of the evening sky in my back yard a month or so ago. Was pretty amazing.

Did you guys see the video of the rabbit that got nursed back to health only to get eaten by a hawk while the family was releasing it?

Short story even shorter...I saw a hawk drop a dove when I startled him. Walked over, picked it up, the only thing eaten was the brain. I had to wonder why the hawk started his meal there.

I like the videos like that. My house is surrounded by squirrels. I always have to take a cautionary peek on the porch before opening the door to walk the dog. I've had all 117 lbs. of Malamute mash the go pedal several times because a squirrel was sitting in front of the door.(he's got three so far) I'll always root for the hawk, or the big ol' owl that occasionally makes a stealth pounce in the yard. There's no danger of the tree rat population dwindling here.

I've occasionally noticed a hawk making low flyovers but, this summer a pair of hawks frequented our back yard. They'd perch on the two satellite dishes and watch the yard.

To tell the truth, I'm not too fond of hawks. They kill a lot of small game (particularly upland game birds) and they've screwed up many a dove hunt for me. One cotton'-pickin' hawk within a mile or so of where you're shooting pretty much grounds the doves.

Hawks. Can't live with 'em... can't kill 'em.

Yup, my Pappy's standard answer to stuff like that would be, "Call me a S.O.B. and YOU can be a democrat." - 'cept pappy wouldn't have used the initials.
