I always enjoy hearing hunting stories other are enjoying with their squirrel dogs.. Below is a hunt that Sterling Earheart shared with me yesterday hunting his young Buckley Mountain Feist dog and his 6 month old Galla Creek pup. Its hard to beat the enjoyment of seeing a pup tree its first squirrel.

Made a little hunt yesterday with Louan and Greta. Louan treed five times saw two missed one and the other one didn't give a shot.

But I have to tell Greta's story. Louan was off hunting, Greta was out in front of me she got excited and ran into a thicket and got after a squirrel timbered it through the thicket and into a big oak was jumping up on the tree so I shot it out. Squirrel hit the ground took off Greta right after it, it ran up another tree Greta grabbed it off tree and the chase was on. It finally got into a hollow log, but didn't get away Greta stayed with it till I got there and made a hole big enough for her to get to it. This is not the first squirrel she has worked but she did good really on this one. Here is a picture of Greta and her first wild squirrel on the tailgate. Today is her 6 month birthday.
