These accounts of squirrel hunting past are intriguing. Small game was once the gateway to deer and turkey. Now rabbits and squirrels get ignored by so many. Too bad. I can read the nostalgia in these accounts.
Charlie, now that we have discussed our boyhood squirrel guns, we need to share tales of those squirrel dogs we grew up with (and, in your case, have now). There's nothing quite like a good squirrel dog. Charlie, tell us about yours, please.
