Tried to make a moose call with a coffee can and some string

I saw a video online about how you can make a simple moose call with an old coffee can and a piece of wet string. I was out near Palmer last fall and decided to try it, thinking it would be a funny story. I spent a good 20 minutes pulling the string, and instead of a moose, I attracted a VERY confused and angry squirrel that chattered at me from a tree for five minutes straight. My buddy just laughed and said, 'Well, you called SOMETHING.' I learned that wildlife doesn't always follow the internet's plans. Has anyone else had a DIY animal call totally backfire?

That squirrel was probably the first-chair violinist.

Maybe the squirrel thought you were starting a weird string instrument band.
