It started off as any other hunt. I made ready and had my gear in the truck. I headed out for Logan. Gonna get me some more trash i figured. I hit the woods with a half can of OFF! applied to my person and a half can on stand-by. The skeeters were bad. They buzzed around my face like fans on Bono after a concert. I felt special for the moment. That all changed after some of those skeeters decided to make me their last meal. They musta been hungry. I would never eat anything that smelled as bad as me in that moment. The area I was in is horribly uneven and holds water for weeks. Every time I bent over a sweat and OFF mixture went down my face and onto my lips. I was so numb from that stuff you could pulled my lips off and I would have felt it. 25% DEET BABY!!
Anyway, all I got from that place was about ten pounds of lead from one area....the banana spiders were everywhere. I walked face first into one while beeping and nearly soiled myself.....I was already muddy so no one woulda noticed anyway. Anyhoo, as I was beeping along (again with my head down) I took another web to the grill and this time I hit the ground on my butt hard, landing on my digger, clacking my teeth, and draining the rest of the sweaty OFF into my eyes. Naturally I jumped to my feet and assumed the Kung Fu position cuz I was about to whoop the hell outta that nanner spider for building a house RIGHT THERE!! No one was so home so I moved on. All those skeeters buzzing made my head spin. I couldn't believe the numbers. In the hundreds.....
Decided to move before I got hepatitis, malaria and polio. Moved over to another part of the camp where few people dare to go. I am pretty sure that this particular area had not been hit for a very very long time if ever at all. I will most definitely return to that place. I dug a......
And some.....
And finally this little.....
which is in really great condition. This was the best macro shot I could get of it.
Suddenly the sky opened up without warning. No thunder. No lightning and no sprinkles. I got a shower!! I was about a half click due south of the extraction zone and it was getting heavier! I turned my MD around to carry it by the shaft and popped out the batteries and headed out. After 20 yards or so I was completely soaked!!
Once I got to the extraction vehicle I hit the AC and forgot my shirt was wet and it hit me like an ice cube. I had to drive home half naked some like kind of redneck. No offense to all my Oklahoma, Arkansas, Georgia and East Texas people
Did I mention that I was the only one in the contest? I spared everyone the after photos! If you look hard enough you can.......
