Public domain wildlife photoHow to use this section
Small Game calling starts with context.
Small-game calls are frequently most useful as locating or reaction tools. A bark may provoke a hidden squirrel to answer; a brief distress sequence may make an animal reveal its position without drawing it all the way to the caller.
Field note
Use reaction calls sparingly. After the sound, scan trunks, den trees, brush edges, and escape cover before calling again.
