I also hear most of my squirrels before i see them...whether its the scratch of claws, the cutting, the pieces falling, or them barking. Its rare ill even go on a windy day because it cuts my hearing so bad.
Alright thanks for the advice. Where have you had most like finding them? The area I thought looked promising was a grove of red oaks. Didn't see any nests, but it just seemed like squirrel haven. Do you typically wait awhile, then seem? Or do you walk around until you find one and then sit near it?
