If we mix their DNA what could possibly go wrong?
Now that's my kind of squirrel hunting...
ReplyDeleteThat would make it more sporting. And the idea of taking one with a .22 would involve a backup shooter with a 12 gauge and #6 shot.
ReplyDeleteAnd I am reminded of the Stephen King story, "Mrs. Todd's Shortcut."
ReplyDeleteI would love to see the squirrel who lives in my palm tree, "Rocky", crossed with a saber toothed squirrel. That way he could scare the piss out of the neighborhood cats who look at him as "lunch". But he holds his own as it is, thwarting their every move, then chattering insults at them. You go Rocky! : )
ReplyDeleteSabre tooth squirrel, holy crap, how cool would that be!
ReplyDeleteHunting them with my .308 might actually be justified then.
The squirrel would become a carnivore and want to eat YOUR nuts.
