Whats the most interesting thing you've found in a tree? (w/ pics)

[timothykamp]

I was cutting down 4 big maples a few months ago...and sliced into a hollow tree. When it hit the ground, a grayish black streak came flying out of it like a bat out of hell.

Two trees later, the tree hit the ground and started crying. More like shrieking...but nevertheless it wasn't pretty. Here's what I found.

one of the hollow trees.

When I was a kid my father brought home a baby raccoon. He was definitely the coolest pet we ever had. Loved Hi-Ho crackers...... hated Ritz.

My .22 would get some use.

I'd let little guys like that go, the way I figure it " If they're not hurting me, I wont hurt them" of course it's humans that are hurting one another more than animals.
