I don't think that dog will ever make that mistake again. It took all of us to get that coon of that dog's head. By the way, coons in your parts are like twice as big as ours. Does the cold weather have something to do with it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22569236.post-51648286446403151382007-09-08T15:27:00.000-05:002007-09-08T15:27:00.000-05:00So do you guys have a lot of Skunks down there?

Actually though you just lost some of the best scent blocker you could have gotten if only you'd have grabbed that ole skunk up by the tail and got his hine feet off the ground (as they can't spray then) you could have extracted the scent for future use while hunting and scouting deer. It's still funny just to think of you and Trent looking under that hogg and getting sprayed.deerslayerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00280092809884128793noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22569236.post-82506108816208371202007-09-07T08:15:00.000-05:002007-09-07T08:15:00.000-05:00Wow, what a story!

One night, one of the guards was walking his rout through the place when he came around a corner outside and walked right into a skunk. He had to take a bath in tomatoo juice in one of the showers there that the oil field workers use, to get the stink off him. We razzed him for a long time, thanking God that it had been him, and not one of us. That guy went on to get a job at General Dynamics, working on computers. he was an ex-Marine chopper pilot, working there while he got a BS in computer science. Cool guy. Wonder where he and the other guys are now?FHBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04261425729050948728noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22569236.post-55134942920904571802007-09-06T19:32:00.000-05:002007-09-06T19:32:00.000-05:00That was so funny.
