Have ate my supper, got in from fishing not long ago.. Was a dern fool thing I dids, but dids it anyways! Actualy was a descent trip, Had several large bluegills, & line broke off on 3 fish that were probly small flathead 3- 5 lbs range. Too late discovered my line had gon e bad. By the time the new line was installed their urges to bite had stopped. Wade had fled the scene back up the creek to home leaving me to fend for myself. was just enough pain starting to sneak into the back to say enough of this nonsense & I soon followed. Released the contents of my stringer as didnt think I felt like fooling with filleting or dragging them the 1/4 mile though yon greenbriers. Got home the deserter did ask to take care of the fish for me. Was a wild ride on a headlightless tractor the next 3/4 mile. Had a dim head lamp wich just wasnt much help except to call bugs to fly down my shirt or lodge in my hair. Each time this happened recalled those blister beetle hoards having that orgee in my yard this afternoon. So was a bit bug shy to say the least. Made it out of the woods & was in the home stretch only to be mobbed by a hoofed esscort that thought it cool to walk slowly in front of my progress. Icouldnt hardly see a thing & the light what there was of it only blinded the cattle, so was a sort of bovine pinball thingie up the hill through tall grass & front & back bale spikes for flippers! Raised the front one so to not have shiskabob of heifer, but the crazed critters kept just trying to be the back kabobs.. Was like the old westerns most the way up the hill as the natives circled the wagon, or in my case wagon puller& wasnt a Case but Ford wagon puller, Was many war cries on both sides, theirs was feed us now & get that stupid light out of their eyes! Mine mainly questoned the parenthood & type of critter in the way. Was a few suiside runs that failed & felt like lowering the front spike & after one impailed itself would be nothig to roast over a brush pile after such,. but not dragging in fish to clean were not about to fillet a cow kabobed or not! Did settle for ham & cheese after leaving the natives behind at the fort gate. Well hope the retelling of my semi productive fishing trip better than the real thing, but was actualy how it happened. Nice & sore with stiff back was glad I went, but next time the cow attack has to go! & time for me to go to bed.
