Hunting squirrels with dog

How is squirrel hunting with a dog? Never been and he wants to go.

Grew up hunting them with a dog. It was always my favorite type of hunting.

I love it. Grew up doing it.

You hunt with a dog after the leaves and acorns fall off the trees. The squirrels are on the ground anyway and will run up a tree and stay or go in a hole.

It's fun as hell.

My English coonhound does pretty good on squirrels in the daytime.

Guess y'all can't take a joke.

My old man has always had jack russells for squirrels. Trains them himself and they are pretty good. That said, we hunt w mountain curs and they are great squirrel dogs.

We are actually in the market for another... If anyone knows of a good dog that needs a good home

agree up hunting with my uncle on his place in chatawa, lots of fun. He had a feist that was a squirrel treeing machine

At least someone got the joke...

Using a good dog (and different people have a different definition of what's a "good" dog), it's a lot of fun and ranks as one of my FAVORITE forms of hunting.

Please take up his offer and enjoy yourself.

2 suggestions.
1. Be sure you understand WHERE you'll be hunting so you'll know whether you'll need to wear regular boots (mostly dry land) or rubber boots (mostly wet land).
2. We like to carry a number of different guns in our hunting party. Always at least one shotgun (12 gauge or 16 gauge) followed by a scoped semi-automatic 22LR, +/- a scoped 17 Mach 2.

ETA: Expect to walk a LOT.

I've never hunted squirrels with dogs, but I've seen it on tv a few times and it looks like a blast.

I wish I knew someone with good dogs.
