How do you get feist and cur to not chase deer or any big game or rabbits and will they usually stay near you? never squirrel hunted or owned a squirrel dog before.Its just when i deer hunt at my cousins i hear squirrels rattling leaves and once i counted 12 squirrels in one stand and 6 in another because they only deer hunt.Should i go for squirrel hunting and why? Btw im 14 and saving up my money and usually hunt by myself.

Squirrel hunting with a dog is a lot of fun. Depends on the dog how close or how far it hunts. Shock collar used wisely will break them off deer.

I only have one cur.. I started mine as a young pup along the edges of a corn field... I could see the tracks she was running in the snow or mud... I didn't use an ecollar. I used a football whistle to chirp her a couple times and when she came back I would give her a treat... When I saw she was running a deer I would tell her NO!.. Then chirp het back...when she hit a coon or squirrel track I would tell her good dog, and if she ran the track to a tree pet her up and encourage her to bark. One time she ran a coon up an electric pole and I was the only one barking treed!! Good thing nobody knows about that.....
