Cisco has been struggling a bit since the begining of 2026. Mostly related to the odd vegetation and poor setups I believe. He's taken only a few squirrels over twenty hunts. Ahead of some really nasty weather late yesterday he caught one. The crash sound he made was amazing, and he broke some left side major primaries. Then Joe Manby and I couldn't find him even though the receiver was giving a good signal. Tracking a bird on the ground coupled with major bias as to where he "had to be" made a very stressful half hour at least. A great picture.... Farrah is tied for her all time season record, and has helped contribute to the squirrel catch.
After a solid hour of chasing I got bored and was ready to call it. This is the 9th team squirrel, 7th for Cisco. It took five hunts, six outings, and about seven hunting hours since squirrel #6... That was 11/23 and he had been deadly for a week or two previously. Cisco was getting his ass beat over and over again today. But one of my maxims is always hunt on your way back to the car. I was bored and ready to call it good. Cisco knocked this rascal off the tree fell right on top of it. https://youtu.be/oW97Xm9dl6A?si=tdiCv67stwvEHL8X
