Mr. Clay you've got your one in a lifetime mule.. I had my one in a lifetime treein' walker and mule in my younger days .. can't go back but I do have the memories. Thanks for the ride along.
Allen Wilson thanks for saying that, and I’ve had some others say the same thing. She’s really laid back, she’s a good looking mule, and she isn’t afraid of much. She’s only 3, so we’ve got a long ways to go. Sounds like you’ve had a good one too, and a great hound.
This is a great video. I loved the "hundred dollar squirrel" comment. A lot of what hunters eat is not value for money or value for time in today's economy but it is undeniably worth every penny. My daughter and I liked this video and watched it a few times. She kept asking me to try squirrel. Here in the UK they are a pest and we shoot them but we don't usually eat them. Anyway after about 3 months of asking, I finally went out with her and got some squirrels. We just had Southern fried squirrel tonight and actually it was really good. Better than the chicken you get in the shops anyway. We will be eating squirrels again. Thank you for the inspiration.
I love how old school and tradition yall are...my dad has a black widow long bow (beautiful bow) he loves javelina hunting with it...I like yur way of doin it traditional I like it...thank you
I don’t have a mule and I don’t hunt, but I sure liked this video! What an awesome way to spend the day ! You are very blessed. Thanks so much for sharing!!
Absolutely wonderful video! I grew up squirrel hunting with dogs in south Arkansas and as time progressed and prior too the leasing of timber company land we rode horses while following the dogs for years. Brings back great memories of hunting with Dad and Jerry and Uncle Jim. Oh how I miss those days...
Death Dealer D2 man! Sounds like you’ve got a rich history of squirrel hunting. Thanks for sharing the experience and watching the video. Good luck if you get to go again.
Great video ... I have ridden mules for 39 years this year ... got my 1st lil buckskin molly mule in 1980 ... love the ending of the video also ... Onward and Upward is the watchword...
Nothing beat the comradere of a few friends on the hunt ( be it squirrels bunnies birds ). The memories are etched in our minds for a lifetime. Great video Clay... thanks for sharing!
You make Steve Rinella look like a city slicker! I admire that you are striking your own path. Enjoy your presence on the Meateater podcast and came looking for some of your content. I'm hooked.
Squirrel hunting is fortunately under rated. It's not about the trophy, but having some fun in the woods. No one thinks twice about perch fishing, but for some reason look down in squirrels. Going out with some mules looks like a pretty awesome opportunity too.
Greetings from the UK, I've only just discovered your channel and have to say I really enjoyed this vid, thank you for sharing and you now have a new subscriber!!
Just got a rescue dog and have figured out she’s a Feist. I’d love to her let loose on some squirrels out in the country. She’s doing a great job terrorizing the ones in our suburban GA yard! 😀 Great video
Best video on TH-cam. I surely wish y'all could make some more i really enjoyed this video thanks again Fella's and I'm following y'all's with the hopes of seeing some more videos in the future.
Another fantastic video, that adds to an already fantastic storyline. I've rewatched the mule series several times now. Great work. Love the podcast too.
Guy Martin EN no kidding. She surprises me every time we ride. She’s still young and isn’t perfect but she is extremely laid back and doesn’t spook at much. She’s on her way to becoming and exceptional mule.
I started out hunting squirrel like many others back in the day. I learned a lot of woodsmanship being a squirrel hunter. I also learned what it felt like to be complerely lost in the Louisiana swamp! Haha! Great video Clay, appreciate your work!
I had to see just how "flashy" this mule was after listening to the MeatEater episode... I wasn't disappointed. I'm an upland bird hunter but really enjoy any hunting that includes the assistance of domestic animals.
Joe Wiltjer right on, Joe. I’m glad you were happy with Izzie’s “flashy-ness”. We’ve got the full video of Clay training this mule too. Will post link.
I enjoyed this and will be subscribing to your magazine. I agree mules are the best mode of transport when hunting or just seeing Gods great outdoors Keep up the good work!
Clay I work on a Rescue Ranch in Texas and we have mules that are just in a pasture getting fat. You inspired me. I have never trained and mules before but I think I'm going to give it a shot
Just discovered your unique clip on squirrels, wow, we had Arabia's on the farm growing up and I shoot 100s of gophers, wonder if they taste the same : ) They were bad for the horses so I shot many and now thinking I should have had my own restaurant! Love everything about you guys, knew your bit at the end too, which was most wonderful and I just about fell off the couch many don't mention their faith up in Canada, I think we're on the same page, I love the word as it's saved me! Love hunting too, new to both but many mouths to feed
stevi jay thanks for the comment and for watching! In an genuine effort to be authentic we’ve got no choice but to mention our faith! That being said, you’ll need some faith to eat those gophers! Haha...Good luck and good hunting.
I am getting jealous of ya'll mule hunters now! Living in SW Virginia I have pondered many times that the older I get there is going to be a day when climbing the mountains is going to be out of reach. I guess I should start trying to convince my wife now before I get there that we should have a mule or two in our lives!
Izzy turning out to be a fine ride . Hunting off a mule it’s something you must try . Your right to quote human life is like a flower in the wind ! Hope there’s many more seasons for all of us !
Andy J if I could ever kill something with that tradbow I’d make a video. Lol. I missed a lot of critters this year! Planning to try to kill a deer here before the season ends.
Awesome video love squirrel hunting just started hunting them with a .22 call PCP air rifle dam it's fun. Oh I forgot the only time ever throwed from animals was a mule and a Shetland pony lol. Thanks for the video I kind of miss worded my replies have been hunting squirrel for over 60 years just started in 2016 with an airgun whole lot different than using a shotgun or 22 rifle my father started me out with.
We had a good mass I thought this year, here in Mo. At least our Jefferson County areas did. So did our southern properties in Madison and Wayne. Love the vids Clay, and your narration is second only to Morgan Freeman.
Love the video I like how you keep everything traditional all the way down to the bear lard. I thought the only thing that was funny about that or ironic is that I see your propane bottle in the back video hahaha kind of figured you guys would be cooking over an open fire great video still a thumbs up for me👍
Right on and thanks for watching the video. Our goal isn't necessarily to always do it the "old way" just wanting to give a hat-tip some old things that are still relevant.
@@bearhuntingmagazine I completely understand and agree like to see good ol mule work for y'all. I'll be doing some squirrel hunting soon as deer season goes out here in the farm. Ummmm ummm squirrel and dumplings hell yeah. 👍
Awesome job training your partner! Worked a team of them back in the day 😊 never been more pissed off in my life and proud! Turkey hunters think they have highs n lows!... 😂 I'm a turkey hunter too!
I've killed a lot of squirrels call never hunted one with a shotgun before. We used 22 long rifle and 22 pistol with a red dot On it. Of course we didn't have to worry about shot being in our meat. Always try to go for the headshot. Great video as always
This was a very enjoyable hunt to watch! I sure wish I could've tasted that squirrel fried in the bear grease. Looked good! What shot size do you fellows use by the way?
We had a ton of squirrels this year in NH, one day I killed 8 in 15 minutes. I would love to try it with a mule, I have been leaning more and more to getting a mule, I’m a big guy (6’4” 220lbs) and think a mule might be my best bet. Great video, thanks for sharing!
Awesome video man! Makes me wanna go squirrel hunting. When I was dating my wife over the summer she got a kick out of me chasing squirrels around trees lol! She said must be an Arkansas thing bc these Alaskans don’t do that lol
Bear Hunting Magazine lol she got a good kick out of your reply lol! Said my squirrel chasing talents is why she married me 😂😂😂. And here I thought it was my accent lol
Every man should have a good friend, good dog,and a good mule.I have been blessed to have all three.Truely enjoyed your hunt.
Donald Wells thank you and sounds like you’ve had some good companions.
Truer words were never spoken my friend.
And a good squirrel rifle Savage A17HM2.

Great to have fun even with small adventures! Creates lasting memories and great camp fire stories.
I think that's what stood out to me about this hunt....it was JUST a squirrel hunt but it was so much fun.

Straight up awesome Clay!! After watching this video...I’m wanting a mule now for public land. Looks extremely useful. - Kirk
The Untamed Yes! You need one! Thanks on the vids.
Awesome video. I grew up hunting off mules going both squirrel and rabbit hunting. Both are a blast! Looking forward to seeing more videos!
Them wise words at the end of the video. So true brother.

@@bearhuntingmagazine I'd say, I was really surprised when you shot the squirrell and she did not budge a bit. You done a good job with her.
@@simplyoutdoors1321 Thank you, guy. She's doing good.
