You two remind me of Jerry Clower's coon hunting story where John climbed the tree to knock the coon out so the dogs could get him and instead there was a bob cat in the tree. He and the cat commenced to fighting and John said " Whoa this thing is killing me..shoot it!!" The other hunters said we might shoot you instead and John said "Just shoot up here amongst us, one of us has got to have some relief"
Jerry Clower also had a coon hunting Monkey...but that's a different story..

"...that monkey thumb-cocked that pistol and shot that coon dog graveyard dead. Nuthin' he hated worse than a lyin' coon dog!..."
believe it or not, there is an official "coon dog graveyard" in Tuscumbia.... (no, I'm not kidding).
Key Underwood Coon Dog Memorial Graveyard - Cemetery
Key Underwood Coon Dog Memorial Graveyard - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
what's even crazier is that the Alabama Tourism website even has it listed
Coon Dog Memorial Graveyard: Alabama Tourism Department

That is a classic!! My Dad loved to hear Jerry Clower's stories. He is so animated and funny. It wasn't just the story but the way he told it and alot of them are suppose to be based on actual events. I found some on YouTube if anyone is interested.
What gems!
Get this, when Jerry recorded his album, "An Officer and a Ledbetter," he recorded it on Camp LeJeune Marine Corps base. The PR liason (general go-fer, driver, babysitter, etc.) was my brother and he didn't know who Jerry Clower was! I just happened to call him the day he was supposed to shuttle Jerry around and he was telling me, "Yeah, tomorrow got some Hee-Haw fat guy that I am supposed to take care of all day." I asked if he knew the name and he read it off. I 'bout fell out of my chair! :shocked2:
I said, "You mean you're serious? You really don't know this guy?"
Suffice it to say, by the next day, he was looking forward to "work"! At least I got some pictures of Jerry out of the deal. He was the genuine article.
