![]() ![]() We are working on an event for South Dakota (Canton area) for this season as well. ![]() There is a lot going on but you may have to do some driving. I already mentioned the Minnesota field trials this month. In Iowa, the club where we went once this past fall to an event was the Iowa Treetop Cur and Feist Club in Nashua, IA. It will most likely be there again next year/this coming season. A lot of folks came up from the Columbia area (Fulton, MO - Show Me Cur and Feist Club) and farther in the Ozarks I believe. The folks hosting it told me that there were 180 dogs there. It took place on March 3rd this year but we couldn't make it because of the blizzard we had and the freeways being closed. There are not a lot of squirrel dog folks there but the Missouri State Championships (NKC) is held in Humphreys, MO not too far from my Dad's hometown of Browning, MO. I hunt a lot in North Central Missouri where my parents are from originally. There are plenty of other arguments for the merits of hunting and I agree with them! That doesn't mean that I am not going to. Things that we would have a hard time believing or replicating now with iron sights but necessity is the difference. The sort of things like: waiting for two squirrels to line up and kill two at once, killing squirrels at incredibly long distances, getting four quail on a rise (shooting the first two then waiting for the last two to cross a ways out) etc. He shot an old octogon-barrel Marlin that my Dad has now and used. He can also tell you about how great a shot my Grandpa was. He will tell you that he is out of practice but as far as I can tell, he doesn't need to make excuses. It helps having little money for shells and relying on small game for meat on the table when he was growing up. There is a tubular magazine that you load through the stock. Dad and Greg are both left handed so the fact that the shells are ejected out the bottom was a bonus. My Dad bought three (one for me, one for my younger brother and one for himself) when I was 12 years old too. I hope that's how I wrote it on the site.If you don't hear from me in a few weeks after today, it is because I am in the doghouse!
