Sometimes I like to challenge myself .... I knew we had a family of flying squirrels in the yard in WI and wanted a pic of one in flight .... Here's what I got ....
That is super cool. Especialy the one with you one one side of the tree while they hide on the other side.
I'm still haunted by those violent little devils. I suffered a vicious attack one morning before the sun came up in a shooting house. It was pitch black and the damn thing flew in and landed on my head. It's an absolute miracle I did not go into cardiac arrest. I was prepared to shoot it at point blank range with my 30.06. Despite all the commotion and screaming like a girl...I still saw deer when the sun came up. Good times.
Have a group in my backyard too, occasionally can see them at night glide from one hickory to the other and can hear their little squeals any night, cool pics
that was better than a strong cup of coffee, kept you awake all day. hope you had extra drawers with you, I'm sure there was a stain or two.
Great pictures, I had an encounter with one this year during the early muzzle loading season. I settled in my stand well before daylight. I was sitting there when all of a sudden it felt like someone grabbed me on my left shoulder only to find a flying squirrel face to face. Yep, just about crapped down both legs.
We should start a support group. It's nice to know that there are other victims out there. People don't realize how dangerous those little critters are. They normally stalk in absolute darkness and then attack with the intention of scaring their prey to breath. I am a proud survivor of those stone cold killers...only by the grace of God.
