It didn't matter much about the noise, Ted. The little fice dog would have another treed in a matter of minutes. All she wanted to do was grab the squirrel when it hit the ground and shake it a few times. Then, she was off to find another. Good squirrel dogs are valuable things down here.

It's an entirely different type of hunting than the quiet slipping through the woods, but great fun with a good companero.
