I saw recently on a THP video they were concerned about squirrels alerting the entire forest of their presence. It got me thinking - I get barked at by squirrels all the time, is that a problem?
I was hoping folks could chime in on this thread with the basic Cliff’s Notes version of reading animals of the Forrest. Here are some that I believe are accurate but I know there are way more and I’m hoping more experienced folks chime in:
Turkey - calm turkey near you while set up is a blessing. Deer pay attention to them and if the turkey are calm the deer feel at ease. I’ve heard of hunters using turkey decoys near their set up for this reason.
Little Bucks - if they are edgy and looking back into the thick then there could be a mature buck in there
man, that’s all I know that’s why I need your help!
Squirrels??? What about when crows are barking a lot? Is that bad? Other animals and behaviors to look for?
