Went out the other day and had a lot of fun squirrel hunting with Lacie my Boykin Spaniel.  My shooting sure isn't what it used to be but I was doing pretty well for a change.

Nice!

That's some mighty fine shooting. I love fried squirrel with gravy and biscuits! Way to go sir!

Looks like you had a great outing.

Gordon that,s a great day!
on hunting squirrels with a dog
I'm am clueless ........how does that work????

Im thinking they are another set of eyes or a distraction for a shot???

Please help me out here..

Thanks...Dan

Hi Dan.  The squirrel dogs use sight, hearing, but mostly scent to find the squirrels.  I normally wait until late morning to squirrel hunt giving the squirrels time to leave a scent on the ground and also time to get away from the den trees.  The wildlife dept. in Oklahoma did a video of us hunting, if you are interested.  You tube outdoor Oklahoma squirrel hunting archery will find it.  It is a little long, twenty minutes or so.

I used to go squirrel hunting with the bow years ago.  This picture was from the mid 1980's.  It was a great time!

Way to go on the squirrels.  Those greys are hard to get.     It is definitely a lot of fun.

The greys were taken in southern Wisconsin.  I was there on a deer hunting trip.  After a morning sit in my tree stand, I came upon the squirrels on my walk out.  It was one of those times when everything fell together!  Three arrows shot and 3 squirrels down!  I am sure I will never have that happen again.  Back then I was shooting my 65# Martin takedown recurve.

Thank You Gordon..Man that sure looks like a great time....

I just never squirrel hunted with a dog before...always... solo....I'm missing out.

Thanks for enlightening me....enjoyed the Outdoor Oklahoma clip Too.

Please share any more hunts in pictures.....Your living right......Dan

Nice shooting! And Rod, I like those coveralls. Always loved that WW2 camo.

Congrats!
