I have found they help keep me on my toes so I am constantly listening and surveying. Last Saturday, I heard slow and deliberate dragging through the leaves and stood up slowly to grab my bow. As the noise neared from behind, I dare not turn around but instead attached my release to the string loop and prepared to draw back. At that moment he stepped out in front of my stand. A magnificent beast. The fattest racoon I've ever laid eyes on. There would have been backstraps and tenderloins for weeks. But I let him pass.

yeah id have to say SQUIRRELS! The worst is when the leaves are frosty and crunchy and you turn your head every 5 minutes thinking a deer is coming but not its just a squirrel..again

Im officially a squirrel vigilante, as for the deer i usually hear them first though.

The only open area. Just didn't think someone living in the Port city would be hunting those coastal
parishes. That's a haul.

huntingson has a good point - a lot of times the squirrels will give away the deer. Anytime I hear squirrels
going at it I pay more attention to that area.

The loud speaker of the woods. A person only needs to learn to understand it. Sisterinlaw smacked her first deer last year thanks to a chatteringrodent.
