Last season about 8:15pm George my coon hunting buddy and I are putting down the road to make our first drop of the night. We're complaining bout women, chewin backey and talking about what that bonehead JR pup needs to turn on.. So we pull up to the property and there in the middle of the blacktop road stands a big boar coon. Huh... So we pull up closer and it looks like it had been rolled by a car.. He was bowed up growling but just slowly walking.. As i was standing there a car came over the hill and slowed down.. It was a Lexus LX-330.. A pretty blond in a ponytail and a scarf rolled down the window and said
"Oh my God.. poor thing. Did you hit it?"
No mam he was just standing here... He's likely sick or hit...
"Well what are you going to do? I live up the road here and can go get our cat kennel"
Well hun, its best to let nature take it's course. Those things carry all kinds of diseases. It wouldn't be smart to try and catch it.. Not much that can be done for him...
"Oh dear, What a shame.."
Yeah.. Poor Guy.. We're just going to shoo him off the road and into the woods so he doan get hit again...
"OK" She said with a smile as she drove off...
I walked to the back of the truck and watched her tailights go over the hill out of sight..... Giggled slightly, Shook my head, and hit the latch on the dog box!! I flipped that JR Dog out of there... YAAAAAAHHHHHWWWWWWW JR Bawled as he saw that coon... The coon made a run for it... To bad he chose the wide open field rather than the woods..... And it was on... Dogs got the coon, coons got the dog, JR backs up and gets him again only to get a cheek full of teeth... The coons a growlin and JR a workin, there's fur and corn stubble a flying... Then with a big old crunch it's over just like that. JR got a good grab on him...
I'm sure that pretty little thing went home and dreamed sweet dreams of the two coal miners who stopped to help a poor sick coon cross the road...
On a side note.. I think it would have been more fun to see that woman try and get that boar coon in a cat kennel.
