We have a redbone coon hound that comes from one of the winningest coon hunting dogs ever. All her litter mates have become champions but ours loves to hunt squirrel. We got her cause my oldest son wanted to coon hunt but that didn’t pan out. Hunting is in her blood though and every time we let her out she would go crazy over the squirrel. She trees them well and will hunt as long as you will let her in the yard. Yesterday my 7 year old and her trees one in the woods by the house and he shot the squirrel. She loved it so much. So, now we will be using this spring season to see if we can actually hunt squirrel with her. So far so good. She seems to tree well using sight and smell. Just needs work on letting them go when in her mouth.
I’d rather squirrel hunt than coon hunt anyways.
Here is some photos of Dixie doing her thing.
Not sure why two are sideways. I saved them and turned them again but they still show up sideways.

Don't sweat it! I only shot 1 on Saturday, and saw only 2, and not until 9:00. Picture perfect morning too! Shot 3 on Sunday, lost 2 in the water; only saw 4; also later. Another perfect morning. I never got skunked like that where I hunt. There are literally and factually dozens of squirrels per acre on my place. Hundreds, and hundreds in total.
Now, there were squirrels running all over my yard all day. I can't explain it either!
That's great!
I hunted squirrels with dogs for the first time a few years back. It was a kick in the ass! We killed dozens!

I had the opportunity to hunt with real squirrel dogs years ago and it was the most fun. The dogs were mountain feist and they were great at what they do.

well our little buddy "Nutty" has made it through the winter without getting stewed down... he comes every morning and sits in my little boys tree club house waiting on them to come play with him and give him a few pecans or some corn... well the last couple days they didnt notice him so he came up to the house to get them lol... The last one my wife was washing dishes and he jumped up there like can the kids come out and play lol the other one was like he was knocking on the sliding glass door lol

My brother raises flying squirrels and grey squirrels that people bring him. He has several big walk in cages that he keeps them in outside and once they are old enough he releases them or gives them to other people who do the same. He has several gray and flying squirrels that come visit him every day when he gets home from work. I prefer the larger 4 legged animal friends myself. And yes I know now that was incredibly stupid.
