My Birthday present from my son and his friend.
My son called last night that he was going hunting
when he got off at 11 oclock and wanted me to go.
I haven't been coon hunting since the 60's and I
didn't enjoy it then, out all night trying to find
the dogs, walking thru the woods and crossing creeks.
He said Dad i really need you to go, I've got a dog
that has bad habit, maybe you can help me figure out
how to break him of it.
I said whats he doing, he said whenever I knock a coon
out of the tree instead of biting his thoart, he catches
the coon my his nuts, I laughed and said maybe he's gay.
He said I'm serious, I want you to go see what he does.
I said i guess, I said where we going he said on the
Harris Ranch, i said Harris there's more rattle snakes
over there than any where close to the house. He knows
i'm afraid of snakes, don't worry i've got some Snake Shaps
you can wear, i said snake shaps hell, i'll just stay in
the pickup, then my wife kicks in, why don't you go i think
you'll enjoy the time together.
I asked her did you increase my insurance and ya'll are
going to collect when i have a heart attack when i step on
a Rattle Snake, she started laughing , Just go with him.
My son Jack and his friend Scotty pick me up 15 to 12 and we
go 5 miles east of my house, turn in to harris ranch about
6000 acres of snakes, the fear is building.
while we was driving they kept on talking and laughing
on how they can break this dog from catching a coon by his nuts
when they kick it out of the tree.
I told them this had better not be a joke, trying to get even
on the ones i've pulled on ya'll...
to save a little time, on to the hunt.
Jack let the coon dog out and i told him i'm not walking
a hour trying to find the dog when he trees the coon.
He said don't worry we can drive pretty close to where he trees.
It's a lot different hunting today than way back when.
the dog has a GPS on his collar and on my sons GPS it shows
all the gates, dirt roads, special maps for hunter, I'm going Old.
The dog treed and we drove within a hundred yards of the dog
I'm looking for snakes and they're laughing don't worry about
finding one the snake will find you.. my hearts pumping like
i had been in a fire fight.
we get to the tree and my son says i'm going to climb the
tree and kick the coon out and he takes his Pistol out of the holster
and hands it too me.
I said do you want me to Shoot the coon and he said Hell No
if i fall out of the tree i want you to Shoot the Dog...
I don't want him biting my nuts.
Thats when the Laughter started, they said Happy Birthday Dad
we finally got you..
I said is this gun loaded, Jack was laughing so hard said
I'm smart enough not to give you a loaded gun hahahahaha.
It's funny this morning, but stressful last night.
never heard a rattle.
