Things you have seen while roading dogs

[slowandeasy]

Or the elusive "Cascade Mugwump". Nobody knows for sure what they are,but all agree that they have a mug on one end and a wump on the other.

slowandeasy, I told you to stop drinking!! A fellow named Tito and I were coon hunting one night and the dogs treed across a pond from us. We could see the tree and Tito starts hollering 'Here he is cowboy, oh he's climbing!! In a little he started hollering he climbing, he's climbing, OH OH he flew!!! He had spotted the red eyes of a whiperill instead of the coon. Tito was quite a character to hunt with. He looked like a mexican bandito with long hair and the first time I met him I was 16 years old and was at a UKC hunt at Stancil park in Cleveland Texas. Well just before the entries closed he walks in with a entourage of really rough looking characters and I said I sure hope I don't draw out with him!! Well I did and we became lifelong friends and spent many years hunting togeather. Sorry I got off track from roading, But i had a fond memory!

AAAHHH Big N Blue, how you disappoint me! And You living so close to the Big Thicket, the the place where the Martian's first left a "SISSORING".

You just thought Ole Tito saw a Whipowill in that tree...that is exactly what a Sissoring will do....climb a tree then fly away....sometimes they will split in two, with Hounds running each. Sometimes they will go in a hole in the ground, then appear in a tree top.

But my how Proud you can be when you finally have Hounds to catch one, then you can scale it, skin it, cook it in a Port Wine sauce and have a Fine Meal.....they are best served with a HEAPING Helping of CROW!

One evening during the closed season, I was roading my dogs along a deadend dirt road here in the Catskills, just for exercise. One of the dogs took off up the mountainside on a scent trail, so I pulled off the road to wait for him to come back. The missing dog had a very bright blue flashing light collar on. I had gotten out of the truck and was sitting quietly on a boulder beside the road, waiting to tackle the uncooperative hound as he flew by, when a jogger comes by. Right about then, my hound overtakes him and I jump out of the shadows to tackle the hound. The jogger, a young man with a pony tail, ran off screaming. Who knows what he thought was going on? I had a good laugh at his expense and didn't think much of it.
Next day in town, I heard tales of how some fellow had been chased by a cop car with flashing lights and a bear had come out of the woods and attacked the cop car! I didn't say a word, but a lot of people from that town won't go into that area at night anymore... I kind of like it that way...

[Big N' Blue]

Willy, you wern't trying to be kind!! C.John is well aware of how much CROW I have eaten! LOL It goes great with spotted owl soup and bald eagle filets. Just for everyones info! I am so sorry for all you Californians that have let the political left take over your beatiful state. My suggestion is to put them all on the San Andreas fault and have them jump up and down or send them all to Catalina Island! Back to the thread! Keep the memories flowing and good luck to all of you!

We were coming home after hunting and as we were crossing the bridge a coon ran out in front of us
keeping him in between the headlights we all watched as he crossed the long bridge.over the Sacramento river until suddenly he stopped. I jumped out and looked behind us in front underneath nothin. that crazy coon jumped at least 80 feet off into the river. which flows pretty heavy right there

Let me start out by giving you a little information so you can fully appreciate the story. Some thirty years or so ago I use to hunt with some buddies and one of them was a nervious wound tight sort of a guy who could get spoked really easy over the littlest of things. And you also need to know that during a few weeks of the year there is a little owl about 8 inches to a foot tall that would migrate into our area and they would build small hallows/burrows or nests on the ground and were all over the place.


It was a Saturday night and I had meet up with my two buddies and we were roading our dogs trying to start a cat so we had two pickups one following the other. My buddies were in the lead and I was just crawling along behind them when all of a sudden my buddies truck came to a quick stop. It seems that while we roading we had came up to one of the owls burrows and it had been blinded by the lights on the truck and it had flown up and hit the windshield head on bang and then flooped spread eagle wings open feet up in the air on my buddies hood. The driver got out and checked it out and yelled back to me what had happened and also took the owl inside of the cab and laid it on the seat between the two of them. We proceeded on for a while(maybe twenty minutes or so) and then all of a sudden my buddies truck started to swerve back and forth and they almost ran off the road before coming to a stop. Both doors of the truck came flying open and my buddies bailed out of the truck like it was on fire. Seems the little owl had only knocked it's self out when it hit the windshield and it had came too and was sitting on the seat between my two buddies. They did know how long it had been awake but when the nervious guy noticed it sitting there looking at both of them he yelled something like oh sh.. and it started to fly around inside the cab of the truck. So it became time to head for the hills as quickly as possible. Of course the owl flew out of the cab with the doors open and we went on hunting that night but it was a hoot to see my buddies eyes wide open and little pale. Of course I had the great pleasure of reminding them now and then about the big game hunters that got their behinds kicked by an owl only a foot tall.

when i was around 18 there was a capybara that got loose from some ladies private exotic ranch . it had been loose for about 3 month and someone actually got a picture of it and put it in the local paper.

so one night me and a buddy were hunting and it ran across the road . my buddy said theres a bear and i said bs thats that thing that was in the paper. the next morning i pulled up to the local paper office. walked in and said i got thing u all had in the paper . one lady said u caught it. i said no i got it

the owner wasnt very happy , but it was legal to kill it. i made the front page of the paper with a capybara on my dog box. if i can find the picture i will post it .

I was hunting with Bill Paetch one time and we had just put the dogs up and were changing places. We hadnt gone but a hundred yards and we rounded a corner and there was a young gal in the ditch with her pants around her ankles taking a wiz. We kept pulling towards her and she just kept her cool and never moved.We got up even with her and she calmly smiled and said she bout peed herself. I have always wondered what the outcome would of been if all the dogs would of still been in front of the pickup. LMAO!
