Sigh
Ok, reckon I'll add my 2 cents as well. As this was recent, night before last, sigh.
I'm pretty much a night hunter out here in AZ... not only because it's HOT, but because I enjoy it that way etc. But, night hunting has it's up's and down's, sigh.
So, there I was hunting away... nice enough night... relaxing a bit... hit one, dig ye olde plug, grab ye olde (ok, not so old, was from the 80's) penny.... put the plug back in... walk about 6-8 feet... "hmmmm, sumpin not quite right here"... feels like the plug is stuck to my right bottom of shoe... (its happened before, as I also step on my plugs when done)... so, as no big deal, in the dark I just reach down to to grab and knock the mud from bottom of my shoe... Hmmm, that felt awfully "squishy" for a chunk o mud, and the "texture" was not quite right either!!! Yup, you guessed it the ol take a whiff came next, arggh!!!! Was not MUD(!!!), or at least not the kind I assumed was there... was totally grossed out, almost hurled(!), you have no idea how fast I wiped my hand across the grass and home many times I did that!!!! Yeah, ended up kind of a short hunt, really needed to get home and find some soap.... hurl! So, instead of a Happy dance, ended up doing the Upchuck Dance!
Yeah, the pitfalls of assumption and night hunting, dang, was fairly fresh, sigh. But, yeah, really happened. Hurl.
