Current River 3-15

[fishinwrench]

Tales of MoMo started when I was a kid, and we camped and fished on the Salt river alot....as in every single weekend, regardless of the weather. 

Us kids were pretty shook up about it, but my dad and grandpa insisted that it was total BS and told us HARSHLY to stop being stupid. "There's nothing out there"!  

Funny thing though....They both started packing deer rifles and shotguns, and Dad always had his pistol on his hip.....Just for the occasional copperhead ya know😅      

Lots of things in the woods, or along the river can get a person all freaked out when you have that stuff in your head.   A Crane rookery caused me to quickly end a float on the Little Niangua once !     I felt like an idiot later when I figured out what it was......But hey, I had never heard THAT before.   Have YOU ?   😳

The first time I heard a bobcat screaming had me headed for the house pretty quick too!   😅

Had a deer hunt in late December a decade or so ago. One of those winter afternoons/evenings that is just completely still. No wind, birds, etc. You feel like you're the only thing with blood running through it in the woods. Well, I thought I heard some deer right before dark. Lo and behold I stayed until it was almost pitch black. I take the primer out of my muzzeloader, climb down, and get ready for the 1/4 mile walk back.

As soon as I hit the last rung of the ladder, I heard the most God-awful scream 20-25 yds away. You wanna talk about pucker factor. I quickly put the primer back in and stood there frozen for 5 minutes. I hauled a** back to the trailer. 

Turns out it was a grey fox. Got it on the trail cam by the stand about 2 min after it scared the ever living hell out of me.

However, I have had a couple of instances in the woods where..I'll just say it's not easy to explain what I heard/saw.

PLEASE tell me he was married to one earlier in his life, or at the very least lived in the woods with her.

I can speak a little Chinese (being married to a Chinese lady for 20 years helps) and can tell you that what they say when seating someone like that isn’t always nice. 😂

I heard the seating gal at a buffet once tell the other gal to go find a table for these 2 American pigs. 😂 I was standing next in line and I answered her in Chinese and said “What did you say?” The look she gave me was priceless

"Pig"  likely has the same meaning to them, as STALLION does to us.    So I'm sure it wasn't intended as an insult.  

What the seating gal truly wanted to do was......Drop to her knees 😊  Otherwise she can take her pangolin-lookin'-physique back to where she came from.
