An escape by a small squirrel

Yes, I'm done hunting squirrels for this season...really. Today Arnold, Cisco, and I headed to the post post squirrel season woods. It was windy and cold under an overcast sky. The place was closed because of vandals doing vehicle donuts after rains. But the employee told me to park outside and hike in. We stomped around for a bit, the dog cold and wet, but engaged. Cisco was his steady self. He peeled a small squirrel off a tree trunk, and dropped to the ground for me to finish the job. Today he shifted his grip just as I reached in. Bye, bye squirrel. That's twice this season. The earlier one was in a tree, escaping after about five minutes.
