Strange things found in the forest

[jerrybob]

Years ago.....we found a starving yellow lab.....old girl with a tumor on her back leg.....could hardly walk. We suspect somebody dumped her out on a logging road. Brought her home and took her to our vet. Vet thought she was between 7 and 10 years old. We had the tumor removed.....had that old girl for 7 years. One of the best and most loving dogs we've ever had. Still miss her.

My cousins and I managed to miss all sorts of things in the woods that had to be there - rattlesnakes, copperheads probably being the worst. Always plenty dead in the surrounding roads. Probably the scariest thing was a dose of chiggers to the privates before being told what they are.

The chiggers or the privates?

My, My, what were you doing to get chiggers only there?

At probably 8-9 years old red whelps on the ankles are typically mosquito bites. But when your sack swells up about twice it's size and terrible itch will get your attention LOL. First experience with chiggers and not quite old enough to realize the unclothed bites were not mosquitos. The country cure - NP27 - athletes food treatment???

Railroad boardered the property I own. Found three concrete fenceposts and two brace bars along with one concrete post base from the original fenceline. Need to probe the area to see if the other two bases csn be found. Railroad was tore out in 1957 according to a neighbor. Never have noticed concrete posts and braces before, anywhere.

Want to make a yard decoration out of them.

Strange things found in the forest

This can be a fun or scary story of anything you have come across in your woodsy travels or hunting - scouting.
Old cabins, scary strange people - animals, cougars, graves, booby traps, abandoned items, old cars, camps, mines,
strange sightings, Big Foot!
Or anything unusual that happened to your friends that they will remember forever.

Hey now - I represent that....

Chiggers like to go where the skin is wettest which usually means where the clothes are tightest thus are often around the waist. :shocked: Not fun. Shorts seem to make this worse.

...The pillar of stone looks more recent and "maintained", but the "patio" of stones around it e looks older. ...

I wish the stone pillar and patio could tell us how they got there.

Wiccan's maybe or someone piling up stones when returning to land that used to be in he family? That pillar and patio is odd.

ha! we 'treated' younger cousins with everything from Lysol spray, absorbine jr and Gulf spray. Sure got a lot of laughs out of some of those treatments. It's a wonder somebody didn't get hurt.
