Dec 20 Mid day hunt

[macpappy]

Took Mitt and my boy for a mid day round from 2-4. Squirrels were not moving at all but Mitt was treeing the layups left and right. Killed 11 but 1 got in a hole so 10 for supper in a few days. I hope to get to hunt Mitt a lot over Christmas break. He is in his prime as a 6 year old and I owe it to him to let him do what he loves while he is still feeling young. I wish I knew how many I’ve killed to him in the last 6 years.

Great job on all accounts macpappy! I am glad to here you plan to eat them too! If you have never heard of this(or if you have) before you cook them cut the muscles loose from the tendons and the meat will be much more tender! It prevents them from drawing up when cooked! I was skeptical until I tried it!

Jim’s Man Rock x Trixy. Both local Mississippi dogs. I got lucky and Mitt turned out to be a freak in the squirrel woods. I also have a 4 month old puppy Im ready to get started...his sire is Gr World Champion Drakes Creek Dexter x Sq Ch Zena. I hope to find a couple females to breed Mitt to. He has only sired one litter and all made tree dogs by 1 year old.
