The Squirrels Here Are Huge!!!!

Postby BigTruck » Fri Nov 20, 2009 1:28 am

So I hear a commotion outside my rear patio and the weener dogs are going nuts...I take a look and these huge squirrels are invading my cat's forward operating base!

Those are rather large squirrels. LOL :D

The question is, what are you going to do about these uninvited guests?

Hope that was a zoom lens Truck, they are vicious little buggers if you get too close. Nice shots though :)

2. And, if you have time to write the fault on a napkin and attach to it to the yoke.........you have time to write it in the tech log....see point 1.

I would be careful around such "squirrels".  Occasionally you will come across a more agressive one, plus raccoons are carriers of rabies.

"rather large squirrels" LMAO ;D

A friend and I came across an aggressive one just recently. as soon as we saw him we froze.. he looked at us, went behind a tree to watch us carefully walk by.. I had a soccer ball ready to throw at him and ditch ;D

I was using my 18-200mm, but I was nearly face to face with them, not the smartest thing, but they were more interested in the food, and I'm not sure if they could see me too well with the venetian blinds shut around me, just the lense sticking out

When the "squirrels" steal stuff (i.e. food), they put their masks on so they won't be recognized! :D

Plus, it makes it hard to pick 'em outta a line-up should they be apprehended. ;D
