Thankfully, with a hard frost I cannot start early. If it makes you guys feel any better I didn't see much the first 3 hours. So I decided to kill the first squirrel that gave me a shot from the stand. My judo tip went all the way thru the squirrel. . . . and he lived. In fact, the fletchings held the arrow in him as he climbed his dirty little butt about 40' up into a branch of the tree. After watching him wiggle and move up there I assumed he died with my arrow until I saw him climb higher. Finally had my foreman bring a shotgun to shoot him out of the tree to end his misery and get my arrow back. At this point the arrow broke upon hitting the ground. So my foreman and I decided to squirrel hunt. He took 3 with the Remington 1187. I shot one more. Unfortunately, I only hit it's tail. Did I mention the arrow stuck in the top of a hollow tree with the top broken out? Soooo, I went back out later with an extension ladder to get my arrow. Sure would hate to lose 2 arrows in one day due to squirrels. Climb the 32' extension ladder (fully extended in a hollow tree like an idiot) and retrieve my arrow. Sure enough, it split out the end of the shaft and it was ruined also.
Summary: Wish I was at work this morning. Deer: Zero. Squirrels: 4. Arrows: Minus 2
