When I'm deer hunting, I'm deer hunting. If they bother you that much bring a couple rocks or sticks with you in the tree to chase off those ones that chatter at you. I enjoy watching them. Helps pass the time when your waiting for deer... Now on the other had squirrel hunting with the bow is a blast. Get yourself some flu-flu arrows and some small game tips. Picking them out of a tree and getting in there for some bow shots is a blast. Plus shooting up into a tree is something most people don't get to experience. Lots of fun. Give it a try.
