Squirrel Distress?

Any distress sound works. The Kee kee run of the wild turkey is a good example. The bird isn't really hurting but it is lost. It will keep up this sound until it rejoins the flock.Every predator within hearing will go to that kee kee run call.

I've sat and watched a red fox go straight to the sound of a young squirrel. It was looking up and never even noticed me sitting there. A lot of good things come from just sitting and observing sometimes.Jimmie
 
Hey! how's it going animallvr?
I have a squirrel distress call, i think it would work well in close range, it is not real loud and i don't think it can be heard very far away.
good luck this season,

I called a coyote once while squirrel hunting with my Faulk's Squirrel Distress call. He rugged out nicely after I placed a high speed .22 LR hollowpoint in the bottom of the ear hole. I've seen coyotes stalk squirrels several times in the woods. I also tracked a bobcat once in the snow and the sign plainly revealed a squirrel kill. I think the squirrel distress would have abit better range than a mouse squeaker, or a lip squeak. If a coyote, fox, or bobcat were within the range of it's sound they would be as attracted to that as about any other small prey species distress sounds. All other being equal.
 
I've called in a pack of coyotes while squirrel hunting with my squirrel call. They came in looking for a squirrel, eyes in the trees, and not on my .22. The only 'yotes I've killed with a .22, they were only around 10-15 yards and had no idea I was there. The first one was hit right between the eyes. The second was hit in the base of the skull at around 20 yards while he was running off. So, yeah, squirrel calls get coyotes.
