So apparently I do give a rat's ass... October 28, 2011, 07:39:45 PM Or, rather, two of them:So I'm off work today for the first day of deer season. After the early morning hunt I decide to change the oil in the 300. I open up my tool box to get my filter wrench and these two jump out at me. Startled, I slammed the drawer shut. By incredible fluke I got 'em both. Reflexes, bitches! After disposing of the carcasses I found their nest in the drawer with the Ford logo. Guess I should be opening that tool box more often...

I unfraid of spiders, snakes, wild woodland animals, etc but if a rat jumped out of my toolbox at me, I would probably have a complex about my tools from then on. lol.That was amazing luck to get both of the little buggers!

So apparently I do give a rat's ass... Reply #10 – October 29, 2011, 02:34:55 PM See, there isn't much that I'm afraid of. While I certainly won't invite a spider to dinner, I won't run away screaming from one either. Snakes don't bother me in the slightest (in fact if I see one I will make it a point to pick it up). I live in the boonies, so I'm no stranger to rodents. Even with three cats they do occasionally get into the house, and since the cats are generally too stupid to take care of them I have to catch them myself. I've had them run up my legs while chasing them, and also pinned one to my arm with my hand when it tried to escape when I had it cornered. I don't have the heart to kill them and simply toss them outside (the one that ran up my arm got evicted in a snow storm, I still to this day laugh when I imagine the look on its face as it was flying blindly into the pitch black and heavy snow after I bifted it out the door). The only time I ever got lethal with them was during the great squirrell eviction of 2006. When I bought the house it had been empty for two years and was infested with squirrells in the basp00get and attic. I systematically trapped them one by one with a rat trap using peanut butter as bait, and ended up getting a dozen of the little s. I had to get serious with them because they're so destructive. Lots of houses have burned down thanks to those things.Deer hunting also opens you up to some funny rodent related opportunities. Because you sit so still the wildlife has no idea you're even there. I've had countless squirrells run right up my back. Last year while sitting in my tree stand a squirrell climbed the tree, went out across my arm, and sat right on the barrel of my .30-06 and stared at me for a good 15 minutes or so. I've had a mole run into the sole of my boot when I was sitting down in the snow with my legs straight out in front of me (I could hear him squeaking through his little tunnels and actually felt him thud against the bottom of my foot), a chipmunk once climbed my leg and sat atop my knee and stared me down for a good half hour, neither of us moving a muscle, and one time a weasle actually tucked himself under my ass cheek for warmth as I sat crosslegged (the one and only time I'd ever seen a weasel in the wild). It's not just rodents, either - chickadees are always landing on my hat, and one even tried to get down the back of my neck, probably for warmth. The scariest moment was when I was sitting behind one of those collapsible blinds and could hear something small coming toward me but couldn't see it because of the blind. It kept getting closer, and finally there was a small rustling and the blind quivered slightly. I looked down and an enormous skunk had joined me in my blind. It looked up at me, turned around, crawled back under the blind, and casually walked away. Meanwhile I could hear my own heart beating......My point being that I didn't kill these two on purpose. Although I hunt, I only hunt to eat and will not kill an animal for nothing. They startled me, I slammed the drawer shut, they got squished. Their arses hanging out, while sad, was also funny (and would also be something nobody would ever believe), so I took the pic... Quote Selected

I came nose to nose with one in the chicken coop one evening...thought it was one of my black hens setting on the floor so I reached for it to set it in the roost but when it spun around I ran screaming like a little girl.About the rats...I've made some absolutely incredible shots on game due to hours, days, weeks, and years of practice as well as thousands of dollars of equipment........but what you did...well...that was impressive!!
