Squirrel dog

I have a few friends that all they do is run the old abandoned houses and pull out 40-30 coon a season.
Here's the secret, never get married, work at it all year and when the fall hits your ready. I have a good friend up in MI who runs Airedales and Jacks, he does very well chasing them.

The problem I have with the Jacks is there not bred tested many people just breed and claim the have a proven dog. Not even close, you go to England up the Fells and there running dogs with tight blood lines and no good terrier man in the US is going to be selling good workers unless you have an in.

Amazing, until this day I was accustomed to woods, hills, cornfields and swamps and never the breed of dogs mentioned above. Let the dogs out, waited until they opened up then we would listen for them to bark treed. Once we counted 14 pairs of eyes in one tree, shot two big coon with the Parker and happily walked away knowing the other twelve will hopefully be around for other nights out. Lots of guys used 22's for coon hunting but I always used a shotgun since it was more fun to let the dogs finish them off after they hit the ground. T.
