Pretty tough sledding for our first squirrel hunt of the season. Crunchy snow, squirrels laid up, and the coldest "first" squirrel hunt of the season I can ever remember. Slick could not do anything hardly today besides go to dens and nests on cold tracks. He did find one pretty early but would not stay treed. I tied him the first time he ran off the tree at me and before I found the squirrel, which took a few minutes as it was a huge Red Oak. Lucky to ever lay eyes on that one, and I made a perfect head shot for the first squirrel of the season. Only squirrel we saw today. Slick got tired out pretty fast for him and the snow was a little hard on his feet, I think. Probably try again tomorrow if dog is up to it since the weather is turning to crap for the rest of the week.
