Rabbit Trails and Squirrels in a Tree

Ever had a conversation with someone and the topic veered away from the original discussion...and someone said "We went off chasing a rabbit trail." Well, if so, that is a good thing! It means that you ended up right where you began. Wild rabbits, when they run away from something, do not simply run willy-nilly away from something chasing them...they run in a big circle, back to where they originally started from. Well...that is, unless what was chasing them actually caught them. Something to keep in mind when hunting rabbits, watching rabbits, or watching your dog suddenly take off chasing one when you really wish he hadn't. The rabbit will come back around, just wait where you are.

And squirrels! If you are watching a squirrel in a tree, and it disappears around the other side to hide from your field of vision, you can take a rock or chunk of wood and throw it on the ground on the other side of the tree. Most times, the squirrel will immediately run back around the tree to your side.
