Title: Running around 448... What's that quacking noise?
Post by: reagansquad 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?

Lower pitch than that.

Post by: furiouzgeorge on September 11, 2013, 10:51:52 AM: 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.
