However, I don't know WHEN to actually use the calls. I have searched the Internet, but I have not found the answer to my Question....When do I use the Bark, and when do I use the Squeak?   Posted: Sat Dec 10, 2011 5:53 pm mod90 Veteran Member Joined: 04 Jun 2011 Posts: 279 Try this, it may help http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bjLLg69gXgc   Posted: Sat Dec 10, 2011 8:18 pm domer_pyle Senior Member Joined: 17 Sep 2009 Posts: 523 I only use the squeal if I haven't seen anything for a while, the distress call will leave them a little spooked. The bark I'll use once every fifteen minutes or so, but usually less. I've gotten damn good at barking back and forth to them for 5 minutes at a time but most of those times they started barking first. Just remember not to over do it, they catch on quick   Posted: Sat Dec 10, 2011 8:28 pm radar Silver Status Member Joined: 13 Nov 2011 Posts: 1138 Location: Des Moines, Iowa, USA (I just sit there and eat peanuts in the shell.

The shell cracking seems to get them curious though...and the scent I suppose. But I am, after all, just having a snack. The calls, properly used, probably work better, but the peanuts is what I was taught by an old timer way back before I was an old timer. Peanuts and squirrels are delicious! _________________ It's never too late to have a happy childhood.   Posted: Sun Dec 11, 2011 7:17 pm SMP Silver Status Member Joined: 04 Feb 2011 Posts: 1183 Location: Just south of "Out There"- Land O Lakes Ontario would that be equivalent to Squirrel Satay? _________________ Sean   Posted: Sun Dec 11, 2011 7:53 pm radar Silver Status Member Joined: 13 Nov 2011 Posts: 1138 Location: Des Moines, Iowa, USA SMP wrote: would that be equivalent to Squirrel Satay?

Per the DEC Baiting It is illegal to hunt with the aid of bait, or over any baited area when hunting big game, upland game birds, turkey or waterfowl. http://www.dec.ny.gov/outdoor/28182.html Due to the exclusion, it makes it legal per the law here. I was told by a local guy I could post a bird feeder out there, but of course the ethics of such a move would be questionable. May I drop some seeds and peanuts in a predetermined spot should I have a rough go a things some morning? Perhaps. As for the squirrel call, I have a primos squirrel buster and I was out in the backyard with it yesterday and I saw about 10 go rifling up the trees in neighbors lawns and start barking back holding their ground. It showed me that they will get aggravated by it, and show themselves. That is half the battle with those guys in the woods. _________________ Benjamin Marauder .25 cal scoped with Bushnell 4-16/40AO CF with Hill hand pump Gamo Hunter 220 .177 with CP 4-16/AO   Posted: Sun Dec 11, 2011 8:24 pm twalter Veteran Member Joined: 12 Jun 2011 Posts: 180 Location: East TN USA Forgot to add, in NY state dont get caught with a critter mix out there that has any corn in it during deer season. Ill be hitting some spots up in Albany, Saratoga and out by Amsterdam in the next few weeks. Ill let you know Jr how the squirrels respond to it that reside in the woods instead of the suburbs. _________________ Benjamin Marauder .25 cal scoped with Bushnell 4-16/40AO CF with Hill hand pump Gamo Hunter 220 .177 with CP 4-16/AO   Posted: Sun Jan 29, 2012 3:16 pm Scartch Member Joined: 29 Jan 2012 Posts: 16 Location: Florida New guy here! Just registered after lurking a bit. Didn't want to let this thread get by without dropping my own .02$. Your actually carrying around a pretty good squirrel call with you and it doesn't cost a dime. Make a fist with your left hand. Put your pursed lips at that soft spot between thumb and forefinger. Wet kiss hard. - Should be making a high pitched squeeking sound. It may take a bit of practice getting it loud enough, but I assure you that it'll bring those curious little buggers out. Used this to get some squirrels out of my attic, hit 'em with cb's. Cheers! PS : Do not let your significant other see you doing this! try this next time...   Posted: Wed Dec 12, 2012 10:47 pm tommylucky Member Joined: 11 Dec 2012 Posts: 35 Location: Portsmouth Va bring two plum sized rocks . sit down and try smacking them together 8 or 10 times every 3 minutes or so. you'll pull them in like the pied piper of squirrelville. they are so very curious.   Posted: Sun Jun 23, 2013 5:50 pm longhunter New Member Joined: 10 Nov 2012 Posts: 9 Location: casco, wi. seeing as you can bait them, try some peanutbutter. just smear it on a tree branch or stump. it's like super glue to squirrels. they absolutely will not leave until it's gone. use it like you would any other bait. start putting it out 2 or 3 days in advance, same time, same place, to get them used to it. when opening day comes, you'll have every squirrel in the county waiting for you to show up with their daily fix. been doing it that way for years and it hasn't failed me yet. _________________ a bad day in the woods is better than a good day at work.   Posted: Sun Jun 23, 2013 8:59 pm toadmyster223 Senior Member Joined: 20 Mar 2012 Posts: 501 Location: Fayette Nam, PA To be honest, I didn't even know you could call squirrels in. I use my squirrel call to great affect on coyotes in the afternoon, however.
