Carp posted (seriously?) that he heard that squirrels will charge if only wounded.
As strange (or not) as it sounds, I can attest to it. When hunting them once when younger, I wounded one (gutshot). Knocked it out of the tree (approx 30-40 foot fall) to the ground approx 20 feet away from me. I took 2 steps toward it and it ran right at me. Climbed on my leg and circled it twice, trying to bite (thank goodness for denim jeans). Then it ran off. Strange but true.
