I've never noticed this before but this weekend it really appeared as if deer would disappear when the squirrels came out... I know there not exactly best friends but will deer go out of there way to avoid them? Should you pack it up if you have several around you?

No sir, I have had both feeding within feet of each other dozens upon dozens of times over the years. Once they have passed their initial greetings of barking from the squirrels and dirty looks from the deer, they tolerate each other just fine. I did see a BB play and chase a squirrel all over a ridge one morning, they had a ball!

I agree with AKA. I would add one thing though. If a squirrel is by you causing a ruckus, Don't think that gives you liberty to move around and cause one too. Something is probably just out of your sight range trying to see what is causing that ruckus. Don't let yourself be what they spot.
