machine73, I think it will take years of therapy to get you over your adversion to monkeys.......many, many years of therapy.....
But I don't like the buggers either...like I said before, they look too much like folks to me!
The same guy that was in the bigfoot story above, said they took a boat down the river to check out the hunting on the back of the same place. You couldn't drive to the back of the property due to it being wet, so they took a boat down the river to scout for sign on the back side of the place. Luckily they didn't have dogs on this trip....
Apparently they were going down the river, eating a sandwich and looking along the edge of the river for hog sign when another monkey drops from a tree into the boat and starts acting like he is going to jump on them and take the food. Now these monkeys are like 3' high, not little monkeys.
The one guy picks up a paddle and tells his buddy " Watch this". Now any redneck knows those two words usually lead to disaster.....
The one guy tries to swing the paddle and knock the monkey in the water and when he does, the monkey grabs the paddle, jerks it away from the guy and start swinging it himself!! The two guys said they thought they were going to have to let the monkey have the boat, when one threw what was left of his sandwich up on shore and the monkey dropped the paddle and went after the food.
They told me after that they called the landowner and told him they didn't want to hunt his place anymore............
Now these are true stories (I think) that were told to me a few years ago.
Remind me to tell you guys about the 600 lb male tiger that got loose on a 10,000 acre ranch some time............and how he scared the bejesus out of two guys on the ranch!
