Welcome to the Dixie Cripted Podcast.

All right, here we go. I do a lot of fishing and occasionally I get out there overnight for some full moon action.

One night I was the only boat on the lake when at 4 a.m. a long and loud bigfoot call came from the woods quite a distance away.

What idiot would be out here at 4 a.m. making Bigfoot calls, I thought, and then I smiled.

What idiot would be here fishing at 4 a.m. to hear it, I thought, chuckling up myself another afternoon on the same lake I heard a

scream from the woods coming from a young deer in pain and not long after I heard

the deer running full blast toward me, and I watched it launch itself off the bluff at full speed from 8 feet above the water level and hit the water with a big splash.

It swam to a thick growth of reeds along the bank, squeezed into them and it laid down to hide.

I never did see what was after the deer,

but it spooked me just the same.

My son loves archery deer hunting.

He got a stand set up in a brand new area and arrived pre-dawn for his very first hunt a few mornings later.

He was there all alone and excited to hopefully get close to one of the monster bucks

that had been gracing his trail cams.

After a good trek from his pickup he reached the stand.

The forest was totally silent, but when he raised his foot to take the first step up, that silence was broken by a sudden shocking

scream from something close by.

It caught him so off-guard that he nearly wet himself and briefly considered running back to his truck.

But he realized it was too far and he quickly climbed the 15 feet up to the seat of

his stand stand instead.
