Curious since y'all are fairly close but the question goes out to everyone. Are y'all seeing more dogs being used to specifically hunt squirrels? Do you use them?

I have a close friend that hunts with dogs but he’s the only one I am aware of. It seems it’s just like squirrel hunting in general, there just aren’t as many hunters now days. I mostly hunt public land and rarely see any other hunters.

Where I hunt around the Current River the only squirrel hunters I know of using dogs is a group from Arkansas that makes a yearly camping trip to the area. There are several old men and their dogs that stay for about a week and hunt. I did run into another, different old feller north of there in the MTNF using a pair of dogs to squirrel hunt. Other than that most folks tend to find a mast area and sit, or slowly stalk through the woods taking them as the run across them.

MOGC,
That could have been my buddy that you saw in MTNF. He drives over occasionally real early with a couple of dogs and hunts all day then spends the night and hunts the next day.

He sticks out in my mind because I told him I was out calling coyotes and bobcats and he gave me a tip on a big Tom bobcat. His dogs had treed it and he was worried that if the dogs ever caught the cat on the ground they would get hurt. I hunted the area that year and didn't kill a bobcat there, but I did kill one the following year close enough to maybe be the same cat. Had an older green Jeep.

No it wasn’t him. He doesn’t have a jeep and I’m sure he would have told me about that.
