Smokey's first
I had been planning to wait until the leaves fell off to take smokey to the big woods. Something told me to take him this morning. We started walking down an old logging road and about 30 yards into the woods a squirrel darted right in front of Smokey and he was in hot pursuit. Luckily it went up about 20 feet and stopped on the side of the tree. Smokey was really hammering it and I shot it out to him. He grabbed that squirrel and was shaking it for all it was worth. When I finally managed to get it from him he didn't want to leave my side. He could smell that squirrel in my pocket and just wouldn't leave me. I did see 4 or 5 more squirrels that were cutting and smokey did start to venture out again. He was checking trees and smelling everything. He would investigate every sound he heard but wasn't experienced enough to find those that hadn't come to the ground to feed. I know I was sure fired up being able to shoot his first one out to him just a few days after he turned 5 months old.
