Joey Posted January 3, 2014 Report Posted January 3, 2014 Ralphie was just outside doing his business and came running back into the house with this in his mouth. What the heck is it from. It was frozen but thawed almost immediately and blood starting coming out of the "flesh" end. I can't be a cat, and seems to small for a dog. I put the lighter for size reference and it is in the ziploc bag. Anyone???
Christopheraaron Posted January 3, 2014 Report Posted January 3, 2014 Squirrel tail. Very nice squirrel tail I may add.
Joey Posted January 3, 2014 Author Report Posted January 3, 2014 Well how the heck did a squirrel lose it's tail? Do they fall off or should I be worried about something that can bite a squirrel tail off. I don't think it was Ralphie, but hey, he does chase them.
Bernie Posted January 3, 2014 Report Posted January 3, 2014 Looks like a worm with it's winter fur on.Probably catch a big one with that Joey

Do they fall off or should I be worried about something that can bite a squirrel tail off. I don't think it was Ralphie, but hey, he does chase them. Cats and dogs sometimes catch the squirrels they chase. If it was frozen then it's likely someone else removed it and Ralph just found it.
Joey Posted January 3, 2014 Author Report Posted January 3, 2014 Looks like a worm with it's winter fur on. Probably catch a big one with that Joey Ya, no doubt Bernie, maybe I should put it in the freezer and save it for musky season
limeyangler Posted January 3, 2014 Report Posted January 3, 2014 That dog would never get to lick me again!
NAW Posted January 3, 2014 Report Posted January 3, 2014 Maybe it froze and broke off? A victem of the ice storm? Kidding.,. Their tails don't stay on very well. If Ralphie got a tail in his mouth, it would pop off easily.. I've been carrying them by their tails before and had the tail snap off, just from the weight from the squirel.
Christopheraaron Posted January 3, 2014 Report Posted January 3, 2014 Ya, no doubt Bernie, maybe I should put it in the freezer and save it for musky season Do it! Take the bone out, borax it, freeze it, then use it to make a couple bucktails
Whopper Posted January 3, 2014 Report Posted January 3, 2014 So if Ralphie didn't do it can you account for Paul's whereabouts at said time?
woodenboater Posted January 3, 2014 Report Posted January 3, 2014 Ya, no doubt Bernie, maybe I should put it in the freezer and save it for musky season yup burn it across the surface, that'll get them feeding lol
Joey Posted January 3, 2014 Author Report Posted January 3, 2014 Hahaha, lovin the responses here. Christopher, I think I will do that and Phil, Paul is "supposedly" at work Woodenboater, a nice big hook in there and she'll burn right across the surface for sure
