I went up to my buddy's cabin in the "Endless Mountains" in PA.. I was told that he usually sees a bunch of squirrel and on a bad day still manages to get 3-4 squirrel. So I was excited. Went up there and didn't see 1, between the 3 of us that went, all day.

If there are oak trees and acorns there should be some squirrels around. Gray squirrels usually announce their presence by barking, which can be heard from a distance and they make a lot of noise when they hunt for those acorns on the forest floor when the leaves are dry. Squirrel hunting involves sitting in a spot and not moving for at least 45 minutes before moving on to another area. Patience is key, just like most of hunting.

Where I live there usely is a lot of squirrels.
I put small peacons on my picknik table and they get them.
But this yeay I put some on the tables they have been there for
At least 3 weeks and they are still there.
I think it has to do with not having any rain and they are
Where the water is.

I know over the last few years the squarrels have been diminishing in Pa. I believe its from the bob cats and the fishers that have been reintroduced in the pennsylvania woods.I could be wrong though, But that could be the reason.
