Seems like the deer I've killed the past 2 years were proceeded by a squirrel barking it's head off! Kind of think of them as Squirrel-dar!!

I may be way off base but I've always gone with the theory that all kinds of game get active at the same time. If I dont see a lot of activity by any animals, squirrels, birds etc I dont expect to see any deer either. The times when I have seen the most deer have always been when the other animals are active also.

that has also been my experience for the most part.

I have seen the exact opposite over the years. When the squirrels start working, so do the deer. But truth is, I never gave it a lot of thought.

Probaly something I picked up from my grandfather 30 years ago when fishing. If we did not see any activity from birds or other wildlife he would always say the fishing would not be any good either. I know one thing the, the forest was awful quiet on Saturday and I did not see any deer either.
