Misc data and adventures of a Tayopa treasure hunter

[rockhound]

I went hog hunting in Georgia once. The locals which were to show me where to go, all put stovepipes on their legs before entering the swamp area. I decided right then and there that I was our of my element. I decided I didn't really want to go hog hunting after all. rockhound

I don't know which would be worse, getting bit by a snake or eviscerated by a wild hog. You made the right choice, Rock, yikes.

One time I was walking around the desert in AZ near Arivaca. Happened to look down just as my foot was coming down on a rattler. That was the day I learned that, given enough inspiration, I could levitate! I ended up about 2 feet beyond the snake, facing back the way I was coming from, looking down on that snake, with no idea of how I got there. The snake seemed to be asleep, since it hadn’t moved. I backed up a little (okay, a lot) farther, and threw some pebbles at it. When the first one hit, it woke up, and moved off rather quickly, Fortunately for the snake, not in my direction, since I had him covered with my shotgun….

Levitation with a back side flip....Awesome! Woulda paid good money to have seen that, JB, lol. You deserve a nice glass of Zinfandel for that trick.

I would have paid good money to see it, too! So, they have good Zin in North Carolina?

Jose. Earlier today I stepped outside the back door and made an agreement with the snakes, that I wouldn't harm them if they stayed out of my yard....

About 5 PM one of them broke the contract ,

OK, Snakes and levitation. Back when I was 18 and living in Florence, AZ., I would go out hunting Jack Rabbits normally with my brothers .22 Field Master Pump. As shorts were cheaper than Long Rifles, I had 22 shorts in the gun. One in the chamber and 21 in the tube. I was walking down a cow trail with brush on the left side and 2 inch high grass on the right side. A rattler went off on my left (in the brush) and I jumped to the right. I was shooting as I was air borne and when I landed all I heard was the click click as I was still pumping it and there was no more ammo in the gun. I picked up 5 rounds that I didn't even fire as I was pumping so fast, that they never got into the barrel to fire. I figured that I scared the snake as bad as he did me, so I walked really wide around the area where I thought he was, after I had reloaded, of course. Glad I was a couple miles out of town when it happened or someone would have called the police about someone shooting a full automatic gun off.

Come on Rockhound ! They don't hit so bad .

What those men were afraid of was not the hogs, but the large number of cottonmouths and timber rattlers in the area. Also a good number of alligators. I didn't have any special snake gaiters, so I decided I better not go hunting in the swamp. In the swamp everything either bites, stings or tries to eat you. rockhound

A lot like the areas in Arizona. If it doesn't have spines, thorns, poison, or bites, it's not native.

Take the long stick . You will save time .

 

[Ditlihi]

Heheheh....thank you, Marius...I just love a man who thinks on his feet...

Unfortunately...sigh...his head is so hard the stick would do very little to convince him of the error of his ways. I'm thinking a few well placed pellets to his hind parts might shorten the distance and soften his attitude just fine.....
