If your Feist is any account at all, you're going to get addicted. I used to care very little for tree rat hunting until I go my Feist. What a hoot it is.

I got into it quite some time ago. Found out about Feist dogs and my wife got me one for my birthday. Dog just turned 2 and is getting better. It is really fun!

Seems like I told a couple fellers from up north I'd take 'em hunting. Wonder if they lost interest?

I was packing up my fhf chest rig last night. Need to pick up some more 4 shot 12ga could have swore I had a couple boxes but I guess I only have 9 rounds. Need to confirm zero on the .22s and air rifles too. Oldest is going to tag along this year we're going to paint our faces and make a big deal about it to make it more fun and exciting for her.

I could always remember the first day of squirrel season because it was my mothers birthday. I plan to be out if the weather is nice but I have to mow off some trails also. Guess I will flip a coin on Tuesday...

Neighbor kids take our old cow dog out and he loves it. Toss a stick to the other side of the tree for the dog and around comes the squirrel. Dog comes home happy and so do the kids. thats what it is all about.

Seriously, I've seen her in videos, and I think that she's amazing. What a multi-talented performer.

I think the PCP air rifle may well be THE best squirrel tree hunting gun?
