Ok. So I see this post after what happened today. I'm sitting on my tree when this buck moved under me. I drew as one of these b#$!y squirrels jumps on my tree 1' below my stand, sees me and bounces off to another tree making 1#@$$# of a noise. Guess what the buck did.
I guess they are used to the noise those critters make but they also pay attention to it.

Ps Had 5 squirrels in the area all afternoon, only one selected my tree at just that time.

Get those @#$#!
