Not turkeys but...

That's something I haven't done in years that I need to do. Good stuff.

Great pictures and glad you got your dog back. Never hunted squirrel with dogs before, fox, coyote and coon but never squirrel. Love a good squirrel stew.

Had this girl for 11 this October.  Busted a bunch of bushy tails with this ole gal.

That's a day right there man. He'd not know how to act in squirrels that thick. Lol

Mostly small parcels of land here unless I get to run public. Don't typically get time to go that far these days tho. Keep it closer to home so it doesn't monopolize my time so much that I miss out on stuff with the girls. That's why I enjoy taking them along these days. Would love to get into thick squirrels like that tho. Congrats.

Let me know man. If you don't mind a bit of traveling, I can hook you up with a guy that, I'm my opinion, produces the best dogs this side of the big river. Have yet to see s bad pup come off the property. If it doesn't hunt, it's the fault of the owner. And most just do it naturally. These dogs are bred properly.

A ton of fun right there.You can't beat a good day of squirrel hunting. Good to see you got your dog back.

I'm going to chase some bushy tails this weekend. How do you train a dog for squirrel hunting? I have a Labrador/ German shorthair mix with a ton of energy.

Very Nice. Congrats

Not saying your dog can't because some labs do. And some guys will breed bird dog into the line (rarely admit it) to increase the nose strength but you'd be better off getting a breed known for treeing. How old is your dog?

He is 7 but acts like a 2 year old. He will occasionally point a bird and is a duck retrieving machine. Probably too old to start him on squirells, I guess I was thinking out loud.

If he's already 7, I'd say start over. Get a good pup that's bred right and your job will be a lot easier. Seriously, they're just born with it. You'll need 2 pairs of boots though. Once the first pair is worn out, your dog should be doing what you want. You'll log plenty of miles while that pup gets started. But, once the light comes on and it turns the corner, it's all worth it. I've been fortunate though. Mine were all self starters and took very little work as far as training is concerned. Gotta keep them in the woods but I don't bother showing them easy/dead squirrels. And you're gonna have days when they're all over the place. You'll ask why he/she isn't treeing. They just gotta figure it out on their own. Koal took a bit longer than my old pup but he's doing very well at the moment and improves every time. Yesterday I watched one come down a tree and disappear. My buddy asked why I didn't shoot it. Wanted the dog to find it. Ran past us, hit the track and went straight to the tree. We let the young boy (guys son) with us shoot it. It's cool watching the dog work it out. I'd rather kill 3 with the dog than 6 without him.
