My boys Pocket Rockets

I got woke up last night around 2:30am by a racket on the back porch. When I flipped the light on and jerked the door open I was surprised to see my trash can turned over and two coons hightailing down the steps. My boys two hybreds sounded like they were going into fits, so I went into the house and grabbed my boots and light and unsnapped the 2 pocket rockets to see what they'd do. After some milling around the back yard and back porch with their noses to the ground they finally lit a shuck towards the creek. Needless to say, I was surprised to be looking up an oak tree down on the creek with coon eyes staring back at me within 30 minutes of turning them loose. Neither of the two had ever seen a caged or loose coon before last night that I know of, so I didn't even think to take a gun or camera with me :-/ I was mostly just wanting to put a scare in them to keep'em out of my garbage can. Didn't think about the hybreds actually being able to tree one of them :$

Now for the down side. I was pretty happy with both of them until I got about halfway back to the house and noticed both of them was missing and started smelling that strong unmistakable odor of a skunk. I went to cutting my light all around me and here came Dereks little female running wide open across the back pasture towards me with it still in her mouth and spraying everywhere :o . Made me kind of rethink not learning them the "drop it command "on my run across that pasture yelling at her over my shoulder to drop it while she was trying to give it to me silly11 . You'd think no bigger than a hybred is the smell wouldn't have as much area to lay on, but let me tell you they both are some ripe smelling dogs right now and I sure hated having to tie them up, after she got done with her game of trying to give me the stinking thing.

Randy what I want to know is you said you were woke up in the middle of the night by the noise of the coons in the trash and you then said you went back in the house and got your( boots and light) and you and the hybrids went to the oak tree and they treed. I'm right so for, right? Then we found the skunk and you were running from the dogs with the skunk and the dog was chasing you with the skunk trying to give the skunk to you, right? Out of all this I get a picture in my mind like this, 2 hybrids,i1 skunk, 1 bad skunk smell,and you running from them hollering over your shoulder (get away get away) at them with your boots and light on and you never said a word about (any pants). Are you picking up what I'm throwing down?........Big Ronnie

Hee Hee :D
Look at that look at that. There he goes....... :D No I actually had put on my jogging pants before going to check on the noise. Man never knows what he will run into now a days when he yanks open a door in the middle of the night....
I told my wife I was just glad all the neighbors were asleep. That would have been kind of embarrassing to have to explain why a 6'3 230 pound man was running and hollering all over the back 40 from a 15 pound white hybred. I was just glad she got the point that I didn't want it and dropped it before I run out of breath ;) .

Monkey49 my boy tried the tomatoe juice and baking soda along with some dawn dish liquid on them. They are not as bad but you can still smell it on them. Derek accused me of trying to make his squirrel dogs trash on coons and skunks. I told him it wouldn't surprise me none if those trashy things of his would even tree a possum ;) and highly recommended he worked with them a little more and quit playing fetch with'em. Unless they change both are sneak dogs(silent mouth) because I've yet to hear a bark from either one until the tree and no barks on the skunk. I might have to put a bell on his female to give a man a little warning before we have another skunk incident. I'd hate to end up in the dog house if she manages to sneak in and give me one of those things.

This is the funniest story Iv'e heard since James told us about his Wally dog getting slapped on the nose by a prissy housecat in his vets office & Wally knocking down 2 shelves of high priced dog food trying to get to that cat that ran up the window curtain trying to escape! I can just picture both events in my mind. I don't know which I like the best. LOL I wish I could have had a ring side seat at both events. ( maybe just a little ways up wind at the hybrid event though) LOL Thanks for sharing Randy. Next time I need a chuckle I'll have two stories to draw upon. ILIKEIT It won't be long & you'll be telling us about how many squirrels they are treeing for ya. Never under estimate the abilities of a hybrid. Good luck with them.

Thanks Wendel. I can laugh about it now but there wasn't no laughing going on in that cow pasture. I was saving my breath to yell drop it and to put distance between me and that hard headed female pup. Derek already has them started enough to where he can shoot squirrel from them. They still have enough pup in them to where anything with fur that moves is fair game to them though. I've caught them trying to catch and dig up chipmunks and rats at the barn when they are loose. Kind of has me wandering what the outcome would've been if they had caught that coon on the ground as blood thirsty as what they are.

Randy- You just reminded me of an incident that happened here when my Cajun Jack was about a yr. old or so. It was in the summer time & it was a warm nite & I went to bed with the house windows open. Middle of the nite the whole kennel went into an up roar. Before I could get to the window I could smell what it was! As tired as I was when I went to sleep that damn aroma can sure wake you up in a hurry! I got dressed & grabbed the flashlite & the 410 & out to the kennel I went & there was Jack fighting a skunk that had wandered in right by his dog house. Jack had that skunk tangled up in his tie out chain to where the skunk couldn't get a way. When I called Jack to me here came the skunk at me too! I couldn't shoot that close to the dog so I put the gun down - held my breath & went in & untangled the two of them - pulled Jack back to the end of his line & stood on Jacks chain holding him there while I shot the skunk. After I finally got all the dogs to shut up before we woke up all the neighbors I went & got a pitchfork & carried that stinking varmint (with me coughing,gagging & cursing the whole way) to the edge of the cornfield & flung him out there as far as I could. I went back into the garage took my clothes off there took a shower with lots & lots of soap! Then went back to bed & tried to go back to sleep. ( impossible ) Well the kennel stunk - Jack stunk - the garage stunk - and me ............ well lets just say I used a lot of deodorent & made sure I had a lot of "smelly"cow manure on my rubber boots the next day LOL

That was a good skunk story to Wendel. Hate I missed seeing the action :D I'm just glad I didn't get any on me other than my hands, when I was tying them up. A little diesel fuel and tide detergent and the wife was none the wiser , so I didn't have to spend the night in the dog house or on back porch until the smell wore off WHOME

Randy- Your bringing back a lot of unpleasant memories to me! LOL Never heard of the diesel fuel & tide but that aroma will drive a guy to try anything! Which reminds me of another smelly event that happened a few years ago that I'll tell you about & then I'll quit. It was opening day of our pheasant season. I had stopped into the local convience store to fuel up my trk. & I could smell skunk at the gas pumps. I just assummed someone had hit one on the road with their car & thats why things smelled so bad around there.When I went in to pay for my fuel I asked the cashier if she had noticed the aroma outside. "YES" she replied "and it wasn't much better in here either for a while!" She then explained that earlier that day a car load of pheasant hunters had stopped in & 2 of them (with the aroma on their clothes) came inside the store & bought every single can of tomato juice she had on the shelf! They paid for the juice & went back out to their car & poured the tomato juice all over one of the hunters pant legs & boots!!! Seems that while they were hunting this particular hunter had just crossed over a fence in some tall grass & unknowingly walked right up to you know what in the tall grass & you know what happened next. The cashier said everyone in the car was so sick from the smell inside their vehicle that they couldn't hardly stand the long ride home!!! And they were desperate to try anything for some relief!!! :'( That was one time I could laugh cause I wasn't involved! PS- I'll bet they didn't invite that poor guy to go hunting with them for a few days. What do you think? Take care............ Farmboy-1

ALWAYS keep a bottle of Scent-A-Way liquid body soap and shampoo in your truck and at home,works EVERY time!You also want to wash your clothes in the scent- free detergent they make,but you probably better do it up-town at your local washateria,if not,you may have some issues around the crib,take it from a MAN WHO KNOWS! Chain11 Hope this helps,fellas. ;)

when i lived in chicago [inner city] i kept 2 dogs in kennel and i in garage . i hunted out of a car a lot so people would not know it was a hunter.that red dog was washed so much if was a wonder he had hair. even though washed he left enough scent in the trunk when summer came and got hot -----you could not stand to drive that car even with windows down. charcoal and bakin-soda will absorb a lot but you never get it all if it gets in your car or truck.

Try this mixtuer, it works great bud...Daniel
