If you have ever noticed, when the squirrels are moving well the deer are too. This is one reason I don't mind them too bad.

Squirrels and turkeys are definitely a pain,
but how about CHIPMUNKS! For as little as they are, they can cause a lot of commotion.

I sometimes carry a slingshot, but always carry my squirrel call. It can be used to produce barks and baby squirrel in distress calls. It usually shuts 'em up. But I'm careful to look around well before resorting to the call.

I have used squirrels to my advantage, especially their bark. On more than one occasion a deer has spotted me, flagged and left the area. I wait a few seconds and then give out with a bark. After a few chatters, I just wait quietly. Three different occasions the deer (all three does) turned and continued on their previous trail, right past me. Two times I took them as they were the first deer of the season. The third I let walk as I was looking for a certain buck. A bark seems to calm a flushed deer into thinking that a squirrel caused them to take flight and they then resume their normal way.
