Muddy Creek Squirrel Dogs

Just heard my best advice ever on dog training. “First thing to know before successfully training a dog is you must be smarter than the dog”

I think we all know a few that this applies to.

Another Warrior Hunt in the books. Thanks again to the AGFC and COE for allowing us the chance to participate in this event. Also huge thanks to the Men and Women who have served to give us the freedoms to enjoy doing this.

4yo Grade Male

Was looking for something to hunt that would go a little deeper. This is not the dog. He has the range of my feist and just about the same mouth. Someone looking for a good meat dog that has a good squirrel population this would be a perfect fit.

Pros- Hunts well with company, tone broke, trash broke, will not make a sound in the kennel, Kid friendly.

Cons are he will mark when road hunting, not a big mouth.

Easton got his first deer! No woods pictures because this guy decided to bring about 4in of rain behind him. One of the best/most miserable deer drags I’ve ever made. 500yds to the truck uphill.

Had to reward Ike for his comp hunt. He was getting a little angry when we couldn’t shoot any out to him. Today was a good reminder to him that even a boom stick doesn’t guarantee a squirrel. Not pictured are about 8 very fast squirrels we involuntarily let live.

Ole Ike had a good day. Lot of luck and little dog power. 2nd place AM and 4th place PM. He even got a few points in the Bench Show. Congrats to Shane Turner AM and PM overall winner. Turner Up Monkey is now squirrel champion after winning her first 3 hunts to ever enter! Arkansas Squirrel Hunters Association

Warrior Hunt 2024! Weather was rough, squirrel movement was worse, but the food was great. Thanks again for the invite. Always a pleasure to spend time with veterans and local Leo’s! Corps guys weren’t too bad either.

A good reminder even for a seasoned dog. You can’t beat time in the woods. Ike couldn’t have looked worse for a few hunts. Loose on a tree, cold tracking and just treeing bad trees. I took a step back at what I was doing with him. Thought I had isolated the handler issue. That still wasn’t working. My frustration finally boiled over and I decided I was going to just run him until his legs fell off. (Previously I’d hunt him every few days). I hunted him am and pm Saturday and Sunday for hours. Today I turned him lose for our normal after school hunt. We made 12 trees and looked at 10 squirrels right up to dark. He didn’t leave a single tree with the exception of having 2 in one tree and the second squirrel timbering out, which he re-treed and we got. I’ve said it hundreds of times to potential clients that I don’t train dogs I simply give them time in the woods to do what they do naturally. A point I sometimes forget when working with my finished dogs. They need just as much time as a started pup to look their best and keep away bad habits.
