Squirrel hunting in spring not the same

Since I was a little bitty kid, squirrel hunting was
high on my list of fun things to do. Following along
behind my dad, careful not to step on dry sticks or
big brown leaves, I watched him as he sneaked up
on a feeding squirrel.
Observing the way he did it, sneaking
up behind a big tree to conceal his movements,
he would get the squirrel in his
sights, hit the trigger and to a kid, it was
thrilling to watch the squirrel tumble to
the ground in a shower of leaves. He would
let me go pick up the squirrel, bring it to
him as he slipped in in his vest.
