A friend of mine has a squirrel dog. I always made fun, telling him that I'd be danged if I'd pay to feed a dog all year just to hunt bushy tails! Then I went along. Wow, I had a blast! I always loved hunting with good beagles and good fox hounds. I don't know why I thought a good cur would be any different. Now I make it a point to go along a few times a year and always enjoy myself! Congrats on your new buddy! Wishing you many years of treeing.Cur? CUR?! We don't feed curs in this household. It's feist's or nothing here. Only thing cur's are good for is keeping the toilet bowl clean. I've had a couple cur's in the past. Neither suited my tastes but they are good dogs. If I lived in a spot that didn't have neighbors right on top of me I'd probably have one. They're just too loud for where I'm at. Love the sound of a good cur on a tree though. Feist's tend to be more eyes and ears though. Don't get as many lay ups but you tend to get fewer dens and slick trees. Not saying that's all cur's do but with the feist's relying more on a hot track, visual sightings or hearing the squirrel, you just get fewer instances like mentioned above. Having said that, a good cur that has good winding abilities will put you on squirrels a feist would typically blow past. Pros and cons to each I suppose. Didn't mean to imply that your dog was a cur! Lol! Just saying my buddies is. Never hunted with a Feist. But I don't know much on squirrel dogs either. Guess it's like the old redbone vs Black and Tan with fox hounds!
