SO WE LOADED UP ON THE AIRBOATS AND HEADED OUT ACROSS A PASTURE AND JUMPED BACK INTO THE LAKE AND STARTED RIDING THE EDGE LOOKING FOR HOGS AND DEER , IT WAS SO DAM COLD ON THE AIRBOAT DOING 50 MPH I WAS FROZEN STIFF, SO WE CAME TO A CUT AND STARTED HUNTIN WE SPLIT UP AND STARTED DOWN THE LIL CANAL, WELL THE OAK TREES HANG OVER INTO THE WATER SO YOU GOT TO BE CAREFULL COMING AROUND CORNERS, WELL AS I COME AROUND THE CORNER I SEE MY BUDDYS BOAT UP ON TOP THE BANK OUT OF THE WATER AND HES SCREAMIN AND WAVEIN HIS HANDS TO GET OVER ON THE BANK, WELL I THOUGHT THERE WAS AN OLD FENCE POST STICKING UP OUT OF THE WATER OR SOMETHING SO I CUT THE BOAT HARD AND STARTED TO JUMP THE DITCH BANK, WELL THE BACK CORNER OF MY BOAT DIPED INTO THE RIVER AND STARTED TAKEIN ON WATER!! THE PROP STARTED CHOPPIN WATER AND IT PULLED US BACK OUT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE CANAL, NOW MY BUDDY BJ THAT WAS WITH ME TRYED TO JUMP FROM THE AIRBOAT TO THE BANK BEFORE WE SANK WELL HE JUMPED AND IT LOOKED LIKE HE WAS GONNA MAKE IT BUT IT DIDNT HAPPEN..

NOW THE NEXT PROBLEM THE CURRENT IS RUSHIN AND OUR GUNS ARE STILL ON THE BOTTOM SO WE SWAM DOWN TO GET THEM, IN THE MEAN TIME ARE COOLER FULL OF WHISKEY IS FLOATING AWAY IN THE CURRENT WITH THE LID OPEN,WELL BEING THE REDNECKS WE ARE THE FIRST PRIORITY IS TO SAVE THE WHISKEY!! SO WE START SWIMMING FOR THE COOLER ONLY TO WATCH IT FLIP OVER AND SINK!! DAMN!!!!!!! NOW WE GOT THE BIG JOB TRYIN TO GET THE BOAT UP. SO WE SWIM DOWN AND GET A ROPE TIED TO IT AND GO TO WORK, 9 HOURS AND 6 OF US PULLING AND TIEIN OFF PULLIN AND TIEIN OFF WE FINALLY GET IT UP ON THE BANK,SO I GO TO WORK ON IT ,PULL ALL THE SPARK PLUGS, PULL THE OIL DRAIN , CARB PLUG AND START DRAININ THE WATER .AFTER TURNING THE MOTOR OVER FOR AWHILE WITH THE PLUGS OUT WE GOT IT PRETTY DRIED OUT,WELL THE GAS TANK IS FULL OF WATER, SO IM SITTING IN THE BOTTOM OF THE BOAT CYPHERIN ALL THE WATER AND GAS OUT OF THE TANK, WELL WITH OUT ME RELIZEIN IM SITTING IN GAS NOW IM TALKING A 100 OCTANE AVATION FUEL AND ITS SOAKIN IN MY LEVIS WELL AFTER A FEW MIN MY ASS GOES TO BURNIN THEN MY LEGS THEN ITS BURNIN BAD SO I JUMP OUT OF THE BOAT AND GET NAKED WHICH AINT A (PRETTY SIGHT) AND GO TO GRABBIN MUD FROM THE BANK AND RUBBIN IT ON MY ASS AND FISHIN TACKLE!!

FELONY


THIS STORY IS FOR ALL THE YOUNG GUYS AND THE ONES WHO ARE JUST STARTIN TO TRAIN HOGDOGS..THIS STORY IS ABOUT ONE OF MY BEST HOGDOGS ,SHE WAS ALSO MY FIRST,,HER NAME WAS FELONY SHE WAS 6 WEEKS WHEN I GOT HER AND SHE WAS RANK FROM THE START, WHEN SHE WAS ABOUT 3 MONTHS I PUT HER ON HER FIRST HOG, WHEN SHE SAW IT SHE DIDNT SMELL IT OR WALK UP AND CHECK IT OUT, SHE CAME ACCROSS THE YARD AND HIT THAT PIG FULL BOAR AND WENT TO SHAKEIN!!I PUT HER ON A BUNCH MORE AS SHE WAS GROWING UP,SHE HAD NO PROBLEM CATCHIN!! BUT WHEN I WOULD TAKE HER TO THE WOODS SHE WOULDNT DO NOTHIN AS FAR AS TRAIL'IN ,I WORKED HER AND WORKED HER IN THE WOODS BUT SHE NEVER FOUND ANY HOGS.. SHE GOT ME SO MAD ONE DAY I LEFT HER IN THE WOODS AND WENT HOME,NOW I ONLY LIVE ABOUT 5 MILES FROM WERE WE HOG HUNT IF THAT BUT ANYWAY I GOT HOME AND MY BIG REDNOSE BUCKWHEAT THAT SHE PENNED WITH , HE NEW SOMETHING WAS WRONG HE WAS PISSED AT ME HE WAS EYEIN ME LIKE HE WAS GONNA BITE ME. I HAD DONE LEFT HIS WOMEN AND SHE WAS ABOUT THE ONLY DOG ON EARTH THAT HE LIKED BUT THATS ANOTHER STORY, SO I TOLD MY DAD WHAT I DID AND HE CUSSED ME FOR LEAVIN HER AND TOLD ME I SHOULD NOT HAVE GAVE UP ON HER SHE WAS STILL YOUNG AS HELL AND JUST DIDNT KNOW WHAT SHE WAS SUPPOSED TO BE DOING.. SO THE NEXT MORING I CAME OUT TO FEED BUCKWHEAT AND DAM IF FELONY WASNT SITTING IN FRONT OF HER PEN!! MAN I ALMOST STROKED OUT, MY DAD CAME OUT AND SAW HER AND SAID BOY YOUR AN IDIOT IF YOU GET RID OF THAT DOG, IF SHES SMART ENOUGH TO FIND HER WAY ALL THE WAY BACK HOME FROM THE WOODS THEN SHES WORTH WORKIN! I AGREED AND KEEP WORKIN HER ... WE WERE CAMPED OUT IN THE WOODS ONE NIGHT AND SOME GUYS PULLED UP ON THERE BUGGY AND HAD JUST KILLED A HOG, I ASKED IF I COULD HAVE THE TAIL AND EAR OFF OF IT BECAUSE I WAS WORKING A YOUNG DOG, THEY SAID NO PROBLEM.. SO I TIED THE TAIL ON TOP HER DOG BOX AND GIVE HER THE EAR TO CHEW ON ALL NIGHT..WELL THE NEXT MORING RIGHT ABOUT SUNLIGHT WE WERE ON THE BUGGY RIDEIN THRU THE WOODS AND I SAW TWO HOGS CROSS THE TRAIL! WE HAULED ASS UP TO WERE THEY CROSSED AND I JUMPED OFF THE BUGGY TO LOOK FOR THERE TRACKS TO SEE WHICH WAY THEY CROSSED AND ALL OF A SUDDEN FELONY JUMPED OFF THE BUGGY AND TOOK OFF INTO THE WOODS AND THEN STARTED BARKIN HER ASS OFF!! I GOT ON THE BUGGY AND TOLD MY BUDDY WHAT THE HELL IS THAT DUMB ASS DOG DOING? SHE WAS GETTIN FAR INTO THE WOODS AND STILL BARKEN I SAID HELL LETS GO ,SHES GOTTA BE RUNNING THOSE HOGS AND WE CHASED BEHIND THAT DOG FOR A GOOD HALF HOUR AND FINALLY THE BARKIN STOPPED AND THE SQUEALIN STARTED!! SHE HAD TRAILED AND CAUGHT ABOUT 150LB HOG BY HERSELF,MAN I WAS PROUDER THAN A PUPPY WITH 2 PETERS!! AND FROM THAT DAY ON WE DIDNT TAKE HER HUNTING TO MANY TIMES THAT SHE DIDNT FIND AND CATCH US A HOG! OVER THE 7 YEARS SHE WAS ALIVE SHE TRAILED AND CAUGHT ME WELL OVER 500 HOGS INCLUDING THE BIGGEST BOAR I HAVE EVER GOT, HE WAS 425 LB WITH 4 AND A HALF INCH TEETH,AND IS STILL MOUNTED ON MY WALL....SHE HAD GOT HER TAIL BIT IN HALF BY A HOG, SHE GOT RUN OVER BY THE BUGGY TWICE CHASEIN HOGS UNDER NEATH IT AND SHE HAD BEEN CUT AND SEWED BACK UP MORE TIMES THAN FRANKENSTEIN!! SHE WAS FINALLY KILLED BY A HOG WHEN SHE WAS 7 YEARS OLD, AND THATS THE BEST DEATH A HOGDOG CAN HAVE, I CANNOT THINK OF A BETTER WAY FOR A HOGDOG TO DIE THAN DOING WHAT THEY LOVE, THERE SOLIDERS WITH NO FEAR AND THEY LOVE TO HUNT MORE THAN WE WILL EVER!! SO DONT LET SOME IDIOT TELL YOU THAT HUNTING A DOG IS CRUEL,BECAUSE I WILL GUARANTEE YOU THEY LIVE FOR IT AND LOVE IT!! BUT THE REASON I WROTE THIS STORY IS BECAUSE SO MANY TIMES WE GIVE UP ON ARE YOUNG DOGS, BUT THAT DOG COULD BE YOUR BEST DOG EVER AND BELEVE ME I WOULD DO ANYTHING TO HAVE MINE BACK!!!!! (R.I.P. FELONY)

Good stories D-BREWSTER,

Takes me back to better times, its a shame our grandkids probably wont get the chance to experience these things that make us who we are.

Really great tales man, really great. These are the tales thet kids love when sittin around the camp fires all wide eyed listenin to every word. Gotta admit some of us ole codgers like to hear em as well as tell em.

Maybe it is time for a book. Collections from the swamps. Somebody else mentioned this the other day on the forum. These tales really should be preserved so they dont dissappear when we do.

Guess if yall think theres enough interest I can get it started. If I can fiugure out how to get a pole up Ill see how much interest there is in sharing tales.

Scotty :idea:
 
IT SHOT MY FAT ASS IN THE GROUND LIKE A METEOR-RIGHT AND KNOCKED THE WIND OUT OF ME, IM LAYIN ON THE GROUND BELLOWIN LIKE A OLD BULL .....classic line. YOU are the ultimate cracker hands down.
 
Talkin about loosing a dog. I was hunting some years ago running dogs when my female cut loose on a hog. Ater we caught the hog I loaded all the dogs in the box but my female Beber was no where to be found. So I got this great idea. If I drove out she would hear my truck, then chances are she would come running. Well since we had been sipping cold sodas all night long and not feeling any pain, I hit the hard rode and went to the house. I woke up the next morning to my buddy beating on my door saying get up, as I let him in it hit me, I said "Beber" he said what about her, I said I left her in the woods Dammit. Yep Ol'e dad left his best Be-otch in the woods. I hauled butt back to the woods witch happened to be a Government restricted area ( yea I know it was in my younger days) anyway as I pulled into this place I was immediatly surrounded by unmarked cars. Men with badges came out of them and asked me what I was doing there. Well you know how it goes, little white lies never hurt. I replied well officer I was at the red light last night in front of your place here and a Hog ran across the road in front of my truck, my dog saw it and jumped out after it. Hey it worked, without skippin a beat he said is it a black female? I said yes Sir, he said it is at the security shack tied up and Animal cotrol has been called. So I hurried up to the shack when I turned the corner there was Beber wagging what tail she had. Come to find out the employees inside had just about emptied the snack machines feeding her sandwhichs and bottled water,she was so fat she could hardly get in the truck. Down the road we went justa laughin.
The road goes on forever and the party never ends!
 
YES SIR DAVE ITS THE SAME BOAT , THE WEEK AFTER I SANK IT I CAME HOME AND TOOK IT TO LIL GEORGE'S SHOP AND WE FULLDECKED IT....LOL...
