Re: [RR] Q? Where do all the dead squirrels go?

[clint grant]

The mystery surrounding this question has been pondered by many hunters, naturalists, and outdoor enthusiasts for years on end. For as long as squirrels and man have coexisted, man has asked, "Where do the dead squirrels go?" Scientists, biologists, and paleontologists have researched this phenomena, but to no avail. All efforts have been fruitless, and each time they have searched for answers they have come up empty-handed.   I, however, have known the answer to this enigma for quite some time; as I have witnessed it with my own eyes while hunting deep in the bayous of Louisiana as a youth.       The key to understanding and unlocking the mystery of deceased squirrels lies in deciphering the complex language forms and socio-economic behaviors and eccentricities of the squirrel society. A society of which few human beings are aware of, and with which even fewer are familiar. Crows share a similar form of government, but we know much more about them than we do the squirrels.     The squirrel funeral procession is a particularly compelling and interesting sight to behold, as is the acorn court tribunal, which assembles on October the 13th of each third year. I have the whole thing on video tape, should anyone be interested.

Where do all the dead squirrels go?   I pulled the big Chevy truck into "El Rancho Deluxe" and as I dismounted.. full of freeway buzz.. Cdr.Jen greeted me with this: "Hey- There's a weird dead carcuss over here!" I ambled over to the back fenceline, and past the chicken coop and well pipe storage facility, there under a tall fir tree was a twisted skeler'ton of a long dead squerril... The critter was in a contortion..  looking more like a weed than a fuzzytailed varmit.  Like some mummified relic of acient Egypt.. his fur was all gone and his hide was dried paper thin. "Huh.." I exclaimed, thinking about dinner..<G> and kicked the dead thing into the compost bin. Cdr.Jen then said: "Glad it didn't fall out of the tree on my head!" "Yea.." said I.."Guess we know where all the dead squerrils go.."
