And how the ma and pop gas station with the phone booth wasn't open in the early am and no one was around when I called the police in my town (I had no idea who to call in that area about 30 miles from Fenton).

And I think back to the fact of how I never again set that spot.
It wasn't a honey hole anyway.
And I didn't need to find anything else at that spot ever again.

As I recall, I was about 20 at the time and so was the person murdered by his druggie pal.

Blessings,
Mark

Mark, it is a good thing I never found anything like that at the age of 20, it might have cured me from not only ever trapping that spot, but maybe cured me from ever trapping period.


I got myself a seniors' GPS.
Not only does it tell me how to get to my destination,
it tells me why I wanted to go there.

Was bow hunting whitetails one time and was walking out at end of sit, near dark. A bull moose appeared from the woods and made a beeline for me for me in the wide open. He was rutted right up and came real hard to about 20 yards, grunting.

I thought he was going to demolish me and an arrow at his face wasn’t going to do a whole bunch. Luckily the wind swirled because me shouting at him didn’t seem to be working.

So not overly scary but pretty intense.

I've had a couple encounters with moose that were not fun at all. About as bad as treeing a coon in a pasture with a Holstien bull.
