Another post having nothing to do with fishing but having to do with a lot of fun.  This afternoon, after Bill treated us to lunch at the Blue Levee, Bill Dossett, his son Chapman Dossett, Matt Weissinger, Craig Shackelford, Johnny Laney, his dog Penny and I went  squirrel hunting in some of the Dossett’s woods near Beulah.  Johnny’s 8 year old dog Penny had treed and people had killed 2984 squirrels when the afternoon began.  She only needed 16 more for the landmark 3000 and it was our job to get her there.  Penny did her part and more.  After the first treeing, the action was steady all afternoon. Usually a shaking vine was all it took to move the squirrel. Sometimes a well placed shot. When the squirrel made the mistake to move, the shooting commenced.  On one occasion we shot three squirrels out of one treeing.  After we reached 17, one of which Penny did not tree, the 3000 figure was reached and a celebration and photographs were in order. A pop of Schnapps was passed to commemorate the occasion.In the photo are, from left, Craig, Bill, Chapman, Johnny and Penny, and Matt. Craig swapped photographer duties with me in the second one. As we continued the hunt, things picked up and the action was almost continuous.  We ended up with 30 squirrels of which Penny had claims on 26 or 27.  I’ve never been squirrel hunting with a dog. It’s more fun than a tree full of monkeys. Lots of laughs, plenty of shooting and good conversation in between. Craig found a well placed bucket in the woods and took a rest while waiting for Penny to call us to arms. I was a little jealous of him finding a  seat. Johnny had a GPS that kept track of Penny and also us. I believe it said we walked 5.7 miles this afternoon.  What a wonderful way to spend an afternoon!
