Well Abby got her first squirrel for 2007. Ev from another forum told me about a Boy Scout camp north of where I live. Drove out there, took about 20 minutes. Drove around the place for about a half hour. Picked a spot that had a small pecan grove and took about 20 minutes to get Abby and myself together. Let Abby go and she flew into a tree. My wife spotted a squirrel about 4 trees in. I walked over to the tree to get Abby to look in that direction and she flew to it, than to a branch onto the next tree, so I thought she did not see it. I started to turn to see if I could see the squirrel and than Abby flew back to the tree and grabbed the squirrel and came tumbling down with it in her talons. I made in dispacthed the squirrel, opened it up for her and let her eat. All that time and it only took 2 minutes of hunting. I think she is finally figuring these tree rats out.

First of all Congrats!!! Next, I like the hat, I wear a similar one in the field and it works great and looks quite debonair as well!!! OhioRT can tell you that it floats well too, as he's seen me take a face front dive into a puddle of knee deep slushy water while chasing a bird. Finally, what did you have to do to be able to hunt on a Boy Scout area? We've got a big camp just north of me here and I've wondered if they would be open to having me hunt there. -Joe
Thanks guys, Yea I like the hat a lot. Keeps sun of good, durable, and not to hot. Plus it makes me look good,lol. My boss is on the Boy Scout council in our area, and he called the head of the council., who than called the camp director. If I was you I would just drive out there and ask the camp director. They were real happy about it as they said the squirrels were messing up the buildings. Most people don't know squirrels will chew through the wood and make nest in the attack of a building. Any ways I told him Abby will do what she can to help him out.
