Penny treed this one for me. She gets to carry it for a while.
The rifle was the 20 Bowkett of course.

Not many things in life are better than carrying a freshly killed squirrel in your mouth…seriously

My girl looses interest as soon as they stop moving, up until that happens she’s all about getting that squirrel!

Thanks guys. She is so much fun. She’s now figured out running the squirrels up a tree so I can come shoot it. She has not figured out how to go to the other side so I can see the squirrel. On pheasants she is absolutely deadly. Beyond my wildest dreams.

I have a German Shepherd 11mo old puppy, he just wants to eat the squirrels since he caught one. I suppose giving him guts from squirrels I shot doesn't help that out either...lol.

Congratulations on the squirrel and the dog.
My little rescue hound, Cola, likes to lay on the couch and watch the oak trees for squirrels when I am watching TV. She gets so excited if she sees one that she literally jumps off the ground and chases her tail in circles. She likes it a lot better if I drop it for her but doesn't seem to get mad if I can't find it or miss. Most of the time they are limp when they hit the ground so she will just lick the blood off and maybe mouth it once. But the second one I shot with my P35-177 wasn't quite dead yet and she enjoyed shaking it throughly. She got a rabbit on her own once and hid it from me until she had eaten the ears.

I carry my squirrels in my mouth too... the neighbor's give me odd looks but can't break tradition now!

That's awesome. I wish I had it in me to train our Miniature Schnauzer to do the same. They already come pre-programmed to chase critters down anyway.

All I know is, there’s very few things that make her happier than having that big fat bloody squirrel in her mouth.

I've done nothing to train Cola to look for squirrels for me. She saw me shoot one and got real interested real quick. It's just her God given hunter instinct plus her desire to please me I guess. I need to train her to retrieve them but for now she just finds them which is still helpful. She is so over excited that she sometimes runs past them, however, and I get there first.

Cola doesn’t exist without a pic…
Penny and I learn to hunt together chasing chipmunks. At the same time I was training her for pheasant hunting. She is absolutely awesome.
