Squirrels and birds ?
 

Should we as hunters be careful not to busted by other animals? Do they alert the deer with noises? Can someone elaborate on this. I always feel like I want to swat at the squirrels when they climb up my tree, Is this a mistake if I do?:eek:

I would imagine they alert our game but you can use them to practice. If they don't notice you there then chances are the deer won't notice you either.

In the woods I am always getting busted by squirrels, crows, and a lot of small birds. This happens mostly in the daylight when walking out of stand in the morning or returning to my evening stand. I think the biggest problem I have is getting to my stand in the morning when deer are bedded in a different area every time, and the dry crunchy leaves dont help any.
