I have access to a wonderful spot, full of unhunted squirrel. Beautiful property, varied terrain, oaks, pines, all with horse trails for clear walking. I'm looking for someone with good dogs that wants to come hunting with me and a buddy. Property is in the upstate of SC, adjacent to the border near Tryon with a view of glassy mountain.

Good luck! Property looks beautiful. You might go to squirrel dog central and make the invite. Prolly more dog hunters there, than here.

Dogs for squirrels? Never heard of that please explain. We always did the spot and stalk thing as kids. Only squirrels here are city squirrels and pine squirrels up in the mountains.

76, I hunted them with a dog once when I was pretty young, and then after I retired.. Just after I retired I spent quite a bit of time in W. Va. Lots of tall oak and hickory timber.. My pal hat mountain curs.. Beautiful little dogs.. He would turn the dog loose as we entered the timber.. Usually, we just stood quietly, soon we would hear the cur barking some distance away.. They were silent trailers.. When we got to the tree the dogs would be baying, and watching the tree so the squirrel didn't hop to another tree.. Some times the went in a hole, but usually, we would spot them lying tight on a limb.. Sometimes one of us would walk around the tree, the others stood quietly and mr. squirrel would come edging around the tree and give them a shot.. We used accurate bolt action .22's.. Some of the most fun hunting I ever did.. Sunny fall afternoons, lots of game, good friends.. About as nice as life ever gets..

Dogs for squirrels? Never heard of that please explain. We always did the spot and stalk thing as kids. Only squirrels here are city squirrels and pine squirrels up in the mountains. Dogs work well after the leaves fall, otherwise the squirrel will sit still and likely won't be seen. Spring and early fall seasons are more productive with spot and stalk. In the fall finding a hickory that is being worked and sitting in wait is very productive, especially with a .22 with subsonic ammo that won't scare the critters too badly.
