last year in bow season I had a squirrel problem while hunting with my cousin. I got in my stand before light and after the sun had been up for a while the squirrels come out and start to run around like normal. I didn't know it at the time, but one was climbing down the tree I was sitting in.

Once it got close enough it noticed I was there. So it started barking or whatever you call it. After a little bit it hopped onto a tree to my left. Probably only about 8 or 10 feet away from me at eye level. And the thing wouldn't stop barking at me.

I'd say all of this lasted 7 or 8 minutes. but I had enough of the noise. I drew back my bow and the squirrel, not liking the slight movement, climbed up the tree a little ways onto a branch and started barking again. I tapped the release and the last I heard from him was his body hitting the leaves on the ground. The thing about ripped its head off from aiming at its shoulder area. haha

I never found my arrow tho. That kinda sucked.
