Running around 448... What's that quacking noise?
« on: September 10, 2013, 02:52:39 PM »
I'm a novice hunter, for what it's worth... Anyway, I've been running around the woods for days with no luck. I've noticed some kind of critter out there that makes a repeated quack quack quack noise in the bushes. Almost sounds like a duck but a little lower pitched. What am I hearing?

Tree Frog. Most of them are about the size of a quarter and green. I heard a fairly loud quack/croaking and  and it was a larger tree frog in my strawberries and was brown/green. Maybe twice as big as the little green ones.
The first bird may get the worm, but it's the second rat that gets the cheese.

It's a barking squirrel, they're pretty cool. If you're smart and get to your spot early enough they'll settle down and start barking again when something new comes to the area...i.e. Deer, cats, bear, etc. I've often heard two or three of them get going and not ten minutes later heard something stomping through the woods.
