    Years ago I called in a squirrel by rubbing the knurled edges of 2 quarters together.

    I've used them successfully on gray squirrels in Pa and pine squirrels in Alaska. I didn't "blind call." Just used it to get them to expose themselves.

    Who would have thought we'd click on a Vinnie video to see him playing with squeaky toys like a big ole puppy dog 😂😂. All to get some tree rats to eat 😂.

    I found they work to let you know if there are squacks in the area. The 2 quarters trick works pretty good, too.

    Yep I use one. When you shake (Chatter) it that is the alarm call for immediate danger. You sometimes here them do this when they are being chased by a predator or aggressively chasing one another. The high pitched squeal is a young squirrel distress call or when one is caught by a predator. The Bark is used as a hey I'm over here this is my spot, but I've seen them do it as an alert warning too. You can tell what type of squirrel you're looking for by it's bark. If you hear barks that start fast then get slower with a wheeze at the end, it's a grey or black phase grey. If you hear bark that starts out slow and then gets faster with no wheeze at the end its a fox squirrel. I find knowing the barks helps to know what I'm looking for color wise. Fox and Black Phase greys are easier to spot than a grey. I hope this helps.

    I used a sears push call years ago and a Primos now and it works great.

  • @randytrashcan
    @randytrashcan Місяць тому

    I've used them before to get them into a tree, often if they're just on the other side of a ridge and I know I'd make too much noise trying to walk up. Those calls will get them to run up a tree and look around. I've used the edges of two quarters before to "calm" an area down if I've spooked a squirrel on my way in. I think they perceive it as another squirrel cutting a walnut like nothing's unusual, and they seem to come back out to forage a little quicker than if I were to sit quietly and wait them out.

    17:03 that’s exactly when you hear a squirrel barking. That’s an alert when you were hitting that car really hard you were sending them into a high alert. You need to learn to hit it once or twice go out and listen to the squirrels. Don’t go hunt them just listen to them, go somewhere where they don’t allow squirrel hunting and listen to the squirrels. That’s literally the best way to learn. I’m sure you know that though. Thanks for the video.

    Had 1 yrs ago. The way you are using it is the alert call. If you shake it, its sounding a chase call.

    It’s mainly for dog hunting I believe? 😂. It’s an alarm cry. When you’ve got one treed and he’s hidden too well, in a nest, or in a hole using the call will make him peek/come out. I’ve been dog hunting for nine years and it works at least 25% of the time which is to say pretty good.

    Don’t need to buy a squirrel call when you’re born with one flatten your tongue out so it touches the side of your teeth on the top your mouth and suck. It should break the seal and make a clicking noise just practice it and keep doing it faster and you’ll get it to sound right

    It’d be interesting to see if that call worked on any other species. Maybe at a coffee and beignet shop. It might attract a beautiful woman. It would work if you had confidence and believed in yourself.

    Try sneaking to where you hear the tree rats 🤣 but tasty are barking and head that way….sit down for a few minutes then use the call but just bark once or twice….they can’t stand it and will come out to investigate,kindda like Boudreaux’s wife……well never mind. I used to hunt squirrel in Sorrento La. At an abandoned drilling rig….huge Red Squirrels. Enjoyed the video Vinny….take care buddy. Have a great week. 👍🇺🇸🙏

    calls do work after hunting close to 60 yr the main thing learned squirrels will bark at anything but if he starts wheezing its game on he has spotted U he will lay up flat top of a branch and start wheezing because he is a ventriloquist walk slow toward sound as u get closer wheezing will get much lower making it sound like he's in a distance when he's in the tree next to u if he quits wheezing and u haven't spotted him walk slowly away and he will start his game again. hope this helps improve your squirrel hunt. cannot hunt anymore but sure enjoy videos

  • @KevinCannady

    The calls you are making are ALARM calls. They will let you know if squirrels are close but not come. Danger Call. I have better luck with the whistle they make while sunning.
