Hey Longbeard, a suggestion was made that I have done for a long time now. Get you some judo points and some cheap arrows that you won't mind getting busted up if you hit the squirrel in the tree. I've "silenced" my fair share of angry squirrels in the tree right behind or right next to me a few times using my deer rigs. Expensive doing that
But it was worth it to shut the little barkers up because they woke up with me parked in the tree next to their den! I always carry 3 or 4 "junkers" in my quiver nowadays to "silence" the rude
Also pretty good for the occasional groundhog at the field edge as well!
