That is what I see also. If they come out of the den it is only for a few minutes. The first day that it warms up they will be out. Until then I am going to do like them and hang out in the den.Born2Hunt said:Good Luck. My experience when it gets bitter cold the squirrels will den up for days at a time. You can easily determine how this works in your area by the number of tracks in the snow during the cold blistery days.
