Lots of road kill but they just aren't picking up the skunks---

Mateing season thats why there out there

I was bitten by a rabbid racoon about 20 years ago. I had come home from work and let my cat out and saw this racoon slowing walking and falling over towards me. I went in and got my 22 and went out and all of a sudden he was on me. Had some deep bites on myarms and finally killed it with my fist. Had it checked and it was rabbid and had to have painful shots in the stomach. I respect and like all animals but as a former trapper, you learn the ways of critters that don't seem normal

Good warning there from "one who has been there" and folks need to take heed to all of Chevy 37's advice and experiences.

Man, that must have been quite an ordeal for you !

I was in a bar one time and saw a woman waking in an unsteady manner.....all of a sudden, she was on me. I fought for as long as I could. Fortunately, i didnt have to take the painful shots. Dont know if she was rabid.....OK, she was foaming at the mouth. It was
pitiful. Sure am lucky I didnt marry her. I have heard the shots that Chevy 37 had to have were really painful....now I hear it is much less painful and a simple arm shot.

Robot. Ha.Ha Had to laugh. Back in my younger days walked many, many night unsteady to talk to women, but most of them were put off that I was to drunk. I finally got talking to one great looking lady one night and have been married to her for 25 years. No foaming at the mouth, but she sure could outswer me.

Congrats on the 25 years......dont know about you but I'm too old to run the late nights any more......I'd fall asleep at the table if I had to go bar hoping at 1 am.
