Gonna take a bit to get my legs under me. When I do my first priority is to get Peanut on some birds. I gained some access to new ground that is probably phenomenal. But yea, I’m ready to tag along with you and the boys.
Squirrel Doggin' 24-25

Finally had a decent weather day today. The dogs were quite sloppy and undisciplined, but we got a limit in spite of it. Slick treed 6, Lefty treed two, but for some reason he just got walked off the tree on the first one. Had the easiest shot of the day on that one, too. No clue why he gave up on that one because Slick was not barking. I did not shoot that one. I missed the second one Slick treed 438 times. Well it seemed like I reloaded 44 times, lol. Never could get a reasonable shot at that one. This one was in a tree right on the edge of a huge rabbit field. Eventually, this one went skydiving into the brambles. The dogs chased this one nearly 300 yards to where one very obstinate and fortunate rat found a hole. Took us all day and three drops to get 6. Saw nine squirrels total. Two got away and the other trotted by me standing still looking at the gps with dogs barking 200 yards away. This squirrel literally hopped by me only 3 feet away from me to a tree 50 yards past me and casually climbed into a hole. I laughed out loud. Was a nice day for a long walk. I suffered a serious knife wound skinning one. Scalped the knuckle of my left index finger probably to the bone. It is still bleeding despite drastic measures to stop it. Knife slipped at about 1, and we only had 5 squirrels. I had to make a makeshift dressing from stuff in the dogs’ first aid kit. Fucking stupid of me to not have so much as a band-aid in the truck. But we got our limit. 
Qwik clot should be in your arsenal! Along with bandaids….

Says the guy who shot one from the window and gave him 30min. Next time just call a dog or drone if it is a questionable shot.Will you look at that middle ones nutsack!!!! Just look at it!!!! It’s as big as @giles fist and half of his thumb!
Not a dig at our guys with dogs and drones. They are appreciated. Just making a joke.
