Finally got out a couple times last week. First day out was a "lets see if this works" kind of day. I took my pudelpointer with me. He loves to chase and look for squirrels in the yard, so I figured I take him with me. While he didn't tree any squirrels, he did well listening and retrieved the two I shot. He was a bit hesitant at first, but found and brought both of them to me.

Saturday morning I headed to an area with quite a few mature hickory trees. Saw and shot one on the way in and then ended up getting 4 more out of one hickory tree.
