Kye 77 Posted February 4, 2009 Report Share Posted February 4, 2009 Ratkillah came back to visit,...as always, it was great to see him, and get out with the dogs as much as possible. The first time he came, we took 101 head of game, in three weeks, this time he stayed the same amount of time, but we only took 86 (i think?) head,...we have a REAL BAD outbreak of Distemper, and Parvo in our area at the moment, and it has knocked seven shaeds of shit outta the local wild life...we also had my main Staghound (Blister) out of action the whole time he was here (toe infection) and my main digging dog (Agro) was out of action, because of his hip surgery...we done the best we could, and again, i apologise for the lack of game bud!... We hunted in three states, Missouri, Illinois, and Iowa, and he got to see Raccoons being hunted in Barns, Brushpiles, and one up a culvert pipe...he saw them caught/dug/coursed/drawn buy Staghounds, terriers and even a friends Bulldog..lol...we done our best on the yotes, but alas, without a proper rig, and at night, the odss where stacked well against us!...we even manged to wreck the Suburu a few times!...lol...we also got some feral cats and some bigger game. He was a little lazy this trip, so i had to put him to work, and he showed me his mad skills with the chainsaw, and he felled me some nice old timber for fire wood, which me and the wife where very thankfull for!... The whole trip was full of good craic, and the only down side was waiting in the Mall for four hours, while he whooed the local girls and brought pairs of jeans!...lol...im telling you Killah, that RayBan sales girl was yours buddy!..lol. I would pesronaly like to thank him for NOT yanking the coon of my 'meat and two veg' in Iowa, and NOT listeneing to FR who was shouting.."Yank it off, just pull it real hard!"....it was -25F outside, and yet my skin was fairly leaking!..lol. Its always nice to have you over mate, sorry again for the lack of game, im hoping next season will be good for us, and if we do end up doing the 'Wyoming exsperiment', you are welcome to come over, and help us out with it!...it would be harder to find a keener, more eager guy to get out with!...thanks again mate, hope you come again soon!!! Jay,.. PS...that polar bear is nearly as loud as that black thing you brought over with you mate!...we have called her "Lyra"...should be a BEAST! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
