Title: What a way to go.

 Taking down an old Sugar Maple the other day and found this.

This never would have happend at my house growing up. I was a tree rat sharp shooter.

Did he get stuck in the tree and die that way?

 Looks that way. It obviously has been there a while, but he was all in tacted so I guess he just got stuck.

Over the years I have found numbers of racoons dead where they stuck there head into a peanut butter jar and couldn't get it off. Sure would be a heck of a way to die.

Maybe they were allergic to peanut butter.
