If you want to come up sometime I will be glad to show you around some, would leave it alone after deer gun season opens and go back at em once it closes here. Too, once deer season is over we have some good hardwoods on our club that is full of tree rats, just cant go in there till Feb.
Talking about Holly Springs?
Yep
might come up and camp at Tillatooba lake and hunt then.
Bring your boat, they just reopened the lake there and supposed to be good, put in a new ramp and can launch anysize boat.
It's best to wait till after deer season and all the leaves have dropped. If you go before your dog will tree but you can't find the squirrel for the leaves. Early season is best for still hunting.
Yeh Fessh but I mainly want to work her. if I get a squirrel, I get one but she needs to be in the woods as much as I can get her there
Not trying to mind your business DD, but in my opinion a young dog needs to start out with lots of action. If she just smells them and you can't find them she will soon lose interest. I squirrel hunted a lot as a kid, it's best to give a young dog lots of action in a short amount of time. They are just like kids and need constant entertaining. If you go while the leaves are still on, make it short trips, not an all day event. Let her tree one, wound it and let it bite her, then you will have the beginnings of a squirrel dog.
LOL< That's all done happened Bro. She sees them every day in my big back yard. If I'm sitting there watching TV, she sits on the footrest and watches the trees. One'll come across the fence and she bolts to the door. We have ALOT of them so that's every 45 minutes or so I have to get up and let her out. She got BIT last year. She was sniffing and gnawing on one I shot down and it turned and bit her under the chin. Took a chunk of meat outta her. She Whimpered for a second, then I could see the rage kick in, in her eyes. She tore that tree rat up and just went off on it. I so wish I'd have got that on video. We went satruday to walk a project of mine and she treed then and chased the tree rat as it went from tree to tree. Just need her in the woods every chance I get now cause I'm tired of playing fetch with decoys and old squirrel tails I salted down from last year.
