I have been turned on to some of the funnest hunting I've ever done. A couple of years ago Santa got my girl a requested puppy. Being that Santa likes hunting he figured the dog should help him out as well so he found a Mountain Feist squirrel dog. This weekend I hunted him seriously for the first time. What a hoot! My 6 yr old boy and I shot 7 and 2 got in holes on us. This is an absolute blast.

What a way to spend quality time in the woods with your boy. Very nice.

Awesome! You guys should have a lot of fun together following your Fiest.

We had a Feist when I was growing up, Penny was her name and she was responsible for probably a truck load of squirrels over her lifetime. That was some great hunting fun and actually a way of life as a hunter in our area back then. We didn't have deer or turkey back then. Rabbits and squirrels and an occasional grouse were all we had to hunt. Dogs were always a big part of our life.

Enjoy your little Feist. Happy days are ahead.

Was one of my favorite hunting when I was younger.

That sounds fun. I tried training my mutt dog to hunt squirrels, but he's easily distracted.

bmc make good squirrel dogs

Congrats & enjoy! One of the best squirrel dogs I've hunted with was a friend's homely Rat-Terrier named Herbie. He wasn't very big but he was a heluva treeing dog. Crazy little guy took on an incidental raccoon that wasn't quite dead once, he made out alright though.

what is a bmc dog?

Thanks

I like them Cur dogs I've had three mountain curs all were great tree dogs. Now I borrow my buddies cur.

Last year he was silent treeing, this year he has a mouth. He has turned into a treeing machine. Daylight coons, cats and tree rat after tree rat. Fun times ahead!!

Nothing better than spending time hunting with your son. Keeps him off the tech gadgets.

I wish i had a good squirrel dog to hunt with here in wv
