Did a take down the other day, there was a bat box in the tree about 20 feet up. Figured I would sneak a wire between the box and the tree and lower it down with a rope tied to the wire. I knew there where bats in there but didnt expect about 50 of them winged rats to come flying out when I pried the box from the tree.......The whole time I took the tree down It looked like the Munsters house them damn things kept looking for the box in the tree. was pretty exciting. Wish I was tied in but was just there with my spikes and a lanard. Wasn't much I could do when the box came off the tree except watch em fly out. I have taken them out of trees befor but never seen that many in a box. ...My wife works with me and she hates bats, never seen her run so fast in my life. She jumped into the truck and roled up the windows. Good fun.
