Exactly. Besides, I love having the squirrels around. While too many of them can make it hard to hear a deer coming, it's my opinion that they'll put the deer more at ease because it's business as usual to a deer entering the area. The main reason I love having them around, though, is that I've killed more than one deer that a squirrel has alerted me to. They'll bark at anything which includes deer. I always pay attention when a squirrel barks. Granted, I end up looking for nothing a lot of times but that's normal while hunting. Also, pay attention when you see one off in the distance scamper across the ground and jump up on a tree and freeze. I saw that exact thing last year about 90 yards out and I looked to see what had spooked it. It turned out to be the 10 point buck I killed last season. That little bugger gave me plenty of advance notice so I could get to my feet and get my bow in position. Those little tree rats are my allies.
