Smart little beasts. They scatter from the bird feeders when I cock the pellet rifle even when I am still inside the house. Incredible hearing and sense of awareness at every sense.

You/we are seeing the DNA of the surviving squirrels becoming the dominant gene pool.
My son is seeing that with the wild pigs in California. He hunts with a bow/arrow, and the surviving hogs now never get closer than 50+ feet or more. They sense where he is and keeps that space between them open..
