Was moose hunting in a wall tent this year in the middle of October.First night was quiet and slept well.Second night there was a bit of a wind storm and we learned why people use a long stove pipe as the wind blew the smoke back into the tent a few times.So near daylight a feel a new weight on my legs.Then I feel it has hopped up farther.The next hopp it was on my ass so all in one motion I kick him off.As it is dark I try to figure out which way I kicked it and realize I did kick it to the open side and not the side my son his friend and dad are sleeping.So I go back to sleep after stating that there had been a rodent on me. Next morning we get up and my buddy is getting the fire going and says what the hell was that.He then says he thinks a chip munk just ran thru his legs. So the next night after everyone has fallen asleep I hear a noise and say did you hear that to my son.He says yes so I turn on my flashlight and we see it.We both say look and say what is that and look how big it is.It jumps down and runs straight towards us and goes underneath my cott.We are both yelling and bannging on my cott.2 hours later he is back.This time my son's buddy is waken as well.Flash light on again and he runs under my cott again.this time buddy is banging my cott.We all agree we won't be able to sleep again till he is gone.My son grabs a axe his buddy grabs a long steel flashlight.A hour goes by and he returns.Everybody is ready I turn the flashlight on and he is right below me so I pit lamp him and yell he is right there.My son see's him and throws the axe and hits the critter it does a flop and starts to do the funky chicken.I grab the axe and he jumps back up and does a jump towards the flashlight.Buddy comes flying across snd gets a shot in on the critter.It nocks it down and I am able to finish it off with the axe.The critter was a large pack rat.We were able to sleep again if anybody has any stories please post
