Yes, this is Clay and me after a 3 hour hunt. The dogs treed twenty and we saw eight and bagged five.
This is DOT. She is seven months old. Took her alone with my 3-year-old dog Lucy for an hours hunt this morning. Lucy treed eight and I saw 6 of them but only got three. I tied Lucy up and was shooting to wound for the pup. LOL she had a time chasing them wounded squirrels. A couple got away but some she caught and some she re-treed them and I shot them back out to her. She retrieved all of these back to me. I love working with pups that show interest.
Below is IB Ritchie holding Lucy & Copper with our two-man limit we got today 12-01-05. These two dogs are three years old and full bro & sis. IB got Copper from me as gift when he was 6 weeks old and says he pleases him better than any dog he ever owned. These tow little Feist put on a clinic treeing today. Copper treed the first one out of the box and as we started to him Lucy split of to our right and treed. Both these dogs had two separate squirrels treed in less than 30 sec after dropping them. We go to Coppers tree first and it was hp a little hickory and IB knocked him off and like clock work Copper retrieved it to his waiting hand. We go to Lucy�s tree and it was in the bottom of another little hickory but in a split. IB wanted to catch it but recommended us to move on and get the ones on the outside. It wasn�t any time Lucy was treed again and this time Copper backed her. It was like this the hole hunt. They would tree together and then split tree. We had a couple other dogs with us but these were competing and complementing each other so much we mostly just hunted them. Anyway we ended up treeing 26, killed 12 and saw 5 more that we didn�t get. IB and me added up how many we killed from this one area and it is a whopping 96 squirrels. And there seems to still be plenty there.
This is Robbie Noble with lucy & Brownie with 9 squirrels we got 12-3-05
Below is our daughter Emily on her first squirrel kill hunt with our pup DOT. Em is 5 years old and DOT is 8 months. DOT chased three up the tree and barked her head off.
Below is Brownie on a cold hunt it was 17 when we headed out today for a evening hunt. We got 9 and let 4 get away. Not sure how many we treed today. It was too cold to keep count.
