I received this email this morning and knew you guys would enjoy it as much as I did. Travis gave me permission to post it.
Hello Friends and Family,
Here is another fun email. Last night was a rough night. I had some
church stuff and didn't get to bed until about midnight. At 1:30 am,
I awoke to sounds of gus growling followed by a bunch of hissing and
yipping sounds outside our bedroom window. Maggon and I came flying
out of bed and shined a flashlight out the window to see 5 coons all
over Gus. Gus was flinging them all over the place but they kept
climbing back on him.
I grabbed the shotgun and with only my skivies on, ran outside
carrying 7.5 birdshot loads. I must have looked like John Wayne in
True Grit when he was up against Ned Pepper as I was charging those
coons with the box of shells in my teeth working that break open like
I'd been doing it since I was born. I truly believe my calling in
life is to run-and-gun coons. Ha!
After the smoke cleared, the score was Travis 5 - Coons 0. I had to
chase a couple winged coons through the pasture but ol' Gus kept me
right on their heels.
The only mishap was that I lost my slipper in a fresh cowpie but other
than that, it was a beautiful night.
I want this message to be a warning to all coons in Sanpete County,
Utah. Don't ever mess with ol G-Train (gus) or his boss Travis or
"Prepare To Meet Your Maker!"

That's hilarious! ![[Big Grin]](biggrin.gif) The visual of him ankle deep in a cowpie brought tears to my eyes, LOL!

I ain't never hunted in nothin' but my boxers, but if it gets you five coons that fast, I'll try anything. But, I think he needs to buy a good caller and let that poor dog take a breather.
Funny story. ![[Smile]](smile.gif)

Gus is a blue heeler cross. He must have a JRT attitude to take on all five at once. That boar in front is as big as Gus all by himself.
