After awhile, I figured out it was a Tree Rat!! I set there for awhile doing some cypherin on how in the world I could get up on this critter without gettin busted. I came up with a plan.
I went out the front, walked about fifty yards, cut over to the left about about thirty yds, and started flanking him. I knew he wouldnt hear me cause their was a bunch of perfect soft sneaking snow on the ground. Only problem I saw with my plan was their wasnt much cover to use on the first part on my sneak. Well I made it about three quarters of the way to cover when he either saw me, or something he didnt like. Off into the thick stuff out of site he went. I hid, being real still, the best I could for about twenty minutes. I was just about to give up and he came back to the same spot. Well I finally made it to good cover and ended up passing him at about fifteen yds. I could not shoot from there, as there was too much cover between us. I slowly creeped on till I got to a kinda clear trail I could take back and get a shot.
As I was was getting close I kept trying to spot him as things looked different coming from that way. I was watching a spot that I thought he was in, and feeling real proud of myself thinking it was only a few more steps till I could shoot. Well from a spot near that, I saw him run!!
I froze up again and waited. After awhile I saw him coming back. I'm thinking, good deal, game on again.
Well he stopped behind some thick stuff and never reappeared. After about 20 more miniutes I slowly backed out to try and meet him another day. In short he made a monkey out of me.
