Squirrel Doggin' 24-25

I’ve been doing this long enough to know that when my dogs are not finding any squirrels, they are just not going to be found. Lefty and Slick have proven themselves beyond even my expectations repeatedly. I can only speculate on why, and I have some ideas, but this is shaping up to be one of the poorest squirrel seasons we have ever had since I started.

You guys must be doing a great job thinning the numbers. Those bow hunting these areas I’m sure will be grateful. 👍🏻

Nice day to be out. Slick showed me 6, 5 got to come home with us. Lefty gave some solid moral support and tenderized my dead rats.
First three.

Unfortunately, I can't get out this weekend. Looked a little bit for those vests online but looks like Hurtta may have discontinued them. I like the Riel vest for warm weather, but my feists are so short haired that I wouldn't mine giving them a little help in the warmth Department for colder weather.

Gundogsupply.com sells a really nice vest. I would have bought them if they existed when I got these. Worth a look.

Also, check Ebay. I bought the one Slick is wearing now there.

The Sylmar vest at GDS is the one I am referring to. I might still get one for Slick. The Hurtta vest isn't very durable. Slick demolished the first one I got him and the one I got to replace it on Ebay is getting a little tight on him now.
