Good job!! Should be up hill for him from now on.. Keep takin him! How old is he?
cip Copper's first tree!
Okay guys, if I did something wrong feel free to straighten me out.
I've been taking him out on the farm and working the woods with him. He will range out 150yds or so and on several occasions he will bark treed but before I get to him he will go quiet. So I don't know if he really treed or what. A couple of times he would be scenting up trees when I got there but no squirrel.
So this afternoon my oldest daughter and I took him out. Didn't hardly see a squirrel but all of the sudden he took off over the hill like he saw something. When we got up there he was sniffing around but kept going back to the same hickory and he would stand on his back legs and sniff up the tree. He wasnt sure where it was. I walked over under the tree and sure enough, there was a grey in the top of it. I didn't want to shoot it out unless he barked treed and I could tell he couldn't see it so I shot the limb under it to make it timber. It worked and he saw it and started barking. He followed under it but reared up on the tree next to the tree that held the grey. I kept encouraging him until he barked while reared up on the tree (though it was the wrong one) and I shot it out for him. I let him get a good taste of it then took it from him. We kept hunting but we never saw another one. Gonna take him to the lease near Donaldson in the morning. Hope does better tomorrow. I'm proud of him.
