A squirrel barking is an alert to all animals that somethings not right. Opening day of hunting season a few years ago one started barking at me at daybreak, it just kept barking and barking and barking and I'm not sure if I invaded its nesting site or what but after about 45 minutes of this crap it started to close in on me, because of its curiosity got the worse of him and I couldn't stand it no more so I put the bead on him and 180 grain 30-06 exploded and the woods were once quiet again. After a few moments several deer came by.
