25 plus years of night hunting... Wow some of the things you encounter are true life adventures.. Some of the things you could send into Outdoor Life or Sports Afield and have them publish them in articles like: "THIS HAPPENED TO ME!" such was the case last evening.. I did a stand with the rifle and rest in the farmers larger field.. I hunted this particular farm for well over 25 years but now the last 2 years it had new owners... I use to hunt with the shotgun behind the barn and did well on red fox... I asked the farmer recently if I could hunt back that side again he said OK. I climbed the hill and was walking past the dairy barns like in yesteryear.. Same path with no problems.. However as I walked up the hill for this shotgun stand... I notice how the cow manure was really getting stronger... here I am all white camo even white boots...I'm walking along then all of a sudden I feel my right boot go down deep into what I thought was mud.. However it was not mud it was cow ______that was wet, and soft, and piled about 2 feet high..I knew right off when I broke down through the sheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet that I was no longer going to have color of white from my knee down.. Thank God I did not fall on my back or forward in the cow sheeeeeeeeeeet. I tell you it was nice that there was deep snow piles around because I was doing those snow angels in them after that... I sure did not need a cover scent after that either.. Lucky I got most off... I did continue to hunt the rest of the night into the morning.... I made three more stands after that...I got home...I took my clothes off outside. Took everything out of my white camo pockets and cleaned up much of the stuff. I left the clothes outside the boots too.. Cleaned the inside of the car with cleaner.. You would never know it was carrying cow manure in it. it was the family vehicle too.. but lucky....like is said...It was good that a grown man could be doing snow angels out in the farmers field.. I wonder what they, the farmers family were thinking if they looked out the window seeing a grown man laying his back and front doing all kinds of designs in the snow. Also today...they are probably going to have a good laugh to when they see those two real deep deep footprints not in the snow but the depositied cow sheeeeeeeet.WATCH WHEN YOU WALK TO CLOSE TO THE DAIRY CATTLE BARNS OR STRUCTURES AT NIGHT.. THERE MIGHT BE A BOBBIE TRAP SETTING THERE FOR YOU!!!!!Sheeeeeeeeeeet! MAN!!!! Now That Was A Real Adventure!!!
