Rosco Treeing in the Blizzard

Rosco could not go hunting...blizzard in Arkansas....so he treed from his zip line.

Why Aren't You Chasing Me, Anymore?

Jack and Maggie

Jack is at Matt's place. Matt took Maggie and Jack on a little walk hunt. Snow was too deep for Matt to go to the big forest. Jack treed one and timbered it. Looks like he thought he deserved to eat it too.

In Remembrance Of Earl Wilkerson

Earl Wilkerson of Alma, Arkansas has passed away. He is the founder of the Snowball Feist!

A friend told us he had went down to feed and check on his dogs and fell over, hit his head.

His last deeds were with the Feist dogs he loved. Seems a fitting way for a squirrel hunter to go.

Earl had arthritis so badly that he could not look up. I asked him once how he killed squirrels in

trees and he replied--"I lay down on the ground." Where there is will, there is a way.

In the 1990s, we traveled to Alma and met Earl. We bred our Galla Creek Belle to his Snowball.

I would describe Earl as a gentleman and am proud to have known him.

Storm, Gale and Gusty!

I let Storm, Gale and Gusty out and they were really wanting to chew! They are cutting teeth. All are doing great. Storm is going to her new home Monday. Mike got tired of waiting for Buckeye and is coming to get her.
