"Snaky?"
 

Guys,

Wanted to bring to your attention an incident that took place last fall down here in the North Florida deer woods.

As you are aware, I get many requests each deer season to take folks hunting. I do not consider myself a "guide", but I grew up in these woods and I reckon thru word of mouth, folks tell folks who tell folks to call TDWW and plan a hunting trip in the North Florida deer woods. Beautiful landscape, pristine woods, and world class bucks.

To be honest, I enjoy any opportunity to be in the woods, specifically with Yankees as they typically are not very familiar with the "ways of the wild" and I see it as my part to teach them and help them. Much like raising a child - seeing them crawl, then stumble, then eventually walk (be it a slow, somewhat handicapped walk)is a rewarding experience for TDWW. So, if I am able, I answer their call and take them out in the woods in pursuit of a world class North Florida whitetail. Glad to do it.

Last December, it got a little warmer down here than usual. Now, we do not get too cold down here, but usually chilly mornings followed by pleasant afternoons. However on this particular week, it was warm all day long. And, obviously down here in the deep south we have critters. Things that crawl, things that fly, things that creep around on the ground. Its not a biggie, but it is part of life down here.

I was taking this fellow around. Guy from New Jersey. Mid 40's. His accent was barely understandable.Fat, too. We were leaving the stand mid morning to do some stalking down twix the creek and the pines. Perfect walking conditions. Came up on a swamp....as I quietly began to work my way through the water and mud puss, I turned around only to see this Yankee standing there on the edge of the swamp where I was 10 min ago. I spoke to him with my eyes and said something akin to "it aint nothing for me to up and kick a Yankee's ass" and he looked like aSyracuse University student all hopped upon speed about to take a year end final. Nervous. Fidgety. Cause for concern.

I waded my way back to this fat Yankeeand flat out got to the bottom of it. As you know, I am NOT going to use my strength and agility (trained withHerschel Walker for years)for personal gain, however there are times when 16 inch guns can be used as a "tool." Well, the guy is fumbling around, shifting wait from foot to foot and finally says.........."It looks kinda 'snaky' out in that swamp."

"Snaky?" Now I am not sure what color panties you Yankees wear day in and day out, but in comparison, down here most of the time we only wear undergarments for Sunday morning preaching. Tighty whities only. There is no room for this *****footing arounddown here in the deep South. We are not going to tolerate it. Up there, you may hop, skip and jump in the woods to avoid cutting your foot on glass chunks left behind by the the landowner whose property you are on (tresspassing), but down here we deal with real life danger from real life critters.

"Snaky?" I come face to face withold salty tooth about every week or two down here in the summer woods while crawling thru underbrush, fighting off briars and flicking ticks all in an effort to age summer deer on the hoof. You ever stare down a cottonmouth's throat? Part of life for us and you Yankees come down here afraid to wade through a swamp in December becasue it looks "kinda snaky?"

It never ceases to amaze me the difference in our ways of life.Lace on their drawers. Sleep in socks. Use lotion on their hands. Pay to have their yard cut.

Would go on further, but have to get outside and bush hog the roadbeds. Planted summer deer plots last week. Bucks growing horns down here. Fawns dropping. A few hot summer months (but nothing we Southerners cannot handle) and then fall. Glorious.

I hope each of you are doing well and that you are able to get out on a farm pond or in the woods with close family and friends this weekend. TDWW

How do you delete a comment? Somehow i have posted 3 here and only wanted 1.

RE: "Snaky?"
 

yah bs world class deer ,by what classifications ive hunted there the deer are about 120 lbs. with 8 inch spreads

RE: "Snaky?"
 

You guys haven't been around here long to know about TDWW, he's god's gift to hunting, just ask him he'll tell you and everyone who's listening.

RE: "Snaky?"
 

World class deer in FL??? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! And I'm from FL.

RE: "Snaky?"
 

You, sir, are a True American HERO! And--dare I say it?--a legend in your own mind. Wow. Simply breathtaking.
Do virgins sprinkle rose petals at your feet wherever you walk? Do angels sing whenever you walk intoa room? I bet Gods bow their heads when they speak to you.
(Do you really call yourself topdawgwoofwoof? That sounds almost as ghey as lanse couche couche.)
And thanks for bringing that to our attention. I don't know about the rest of the members, but I'll certainly sleep better tonight knowing you are looking out for us.

RE: "Snaky?"
 

That was easily one of the stupidest, lamest things that I've ever read. Why the hell would you even offer that for us to read? That was a terrible story about absolutely nothing.Gosh that was dumb, what a waste of time.

RE: "Snaky?"
 

I thought that was pretty funny, in Iowa, all we have to worry about is getting cut from a corn stock leaf.

RE: "Snaky?"
 

Dude, I live in the South, probably more "Southern" a place than North Florida (despite geographical location). We've got tons of snakes here, and I hate all of them, and make a conscious effort to avoid them at all costs. I've lived here my whole life and I'm scared of snakes, I take the necessary precautions and kill them if I have to, but what was the point of your story? To make fun of people with a fear of snakes? I fear snakes and I don't think your 16 inch guns could handle my 16 inch guns so stop posting crap.

RE: "Snaky?"
 

None of you guys have been around long enough to realize thecomedy and originalityof TDWW.

RE: "Snaky?"
 

I remember when I just started on here and read TTWW stuff and thought, "Who does this guy think he is?!!" Now, all I can do is laugh at what he says. He's a great addition to this website, you just got to get used to his humor.

RE: "Snaky?"
 

i thought it was funny:D

RE: "Snaky?"
 

The last buck this "yankee" shot was up near the Canadian border.
He field dressed ar 210 lbs.
We don'twear lace on our underwear like you do way up there.

RE: "Snaky?"
 

Did you get the guy a deer?

That's demanding it!

RE: "Snaky?"
 

Perhaps I overreacted...I must read more.

RE: "Snaky?"
 

TDWW,

First of all, great story and as always respect is given. It takes a true gentleman to take someone from the likes of New Jersey on a deer hunt. God bless your soul!! Secondly, it was nice to actually read a good post on this forum. The deer hunting forum has turned into somewhat of a preschool playground since a few new ass clowns have started posting. Lastly, I'm glad to see that you showed some restraint from whipping that Yankees ass when he froze up like that. With 16" guns it still amazes me that you do not use them for personal gain. Again, my hats off to ya.

RE: "Snaky?"
 

Almost, but not quite as gay as fishguts.

RE: "Snaky?"
 

:D

RE: "Snaky?"
 

My hat is off to you TD for a very timely post that was definitely in the caliber that we have grown to expect from you. Nice to see you post again and hope it isn't going to be a rare occurrence. Respect given but having you take up your valuable time to guide someone from Jersey....???? You are getting soft in your old age my man.:D

RE: "Snaky?"
 

That was a good read TOPDAWG. It helped me enjoy my coffee this morning. I can't believe I've been converted to a TOPDAWG fan and actually look forward to your post. It makes no sense at all but it happened.:D

RE: "Snaky?"
 

Id say that an accurate observation about many guys from "New Joysey". Just ask Thunderchicken. He fits that description to a "T". In fact, mighta been him. [:-]

RE: "Snaky?"
 

This pretty much sums it up. Always a pleasure to hear from you TD. It's like the old saying goes, laughter is good medicine.;)

RE: "Snaky?"
 

I cant believe some of the disrepct you guys are giving off to the respectinator, tsk tsk :DKeep on TDWW

RE: "Snaky?"
 

No kidding:D

You have my respect TDWW

RE: "Snaky?"
 

Yeah, that was freaking hularious. It wasted my time. I hunted in Florida a few years ago. Saw three dear and thought it turned to hunting big rabbits. Shot a spike and it weighed in at astonding 53 pounds field dressed. And the 270 blew whole left shoulder off.

RE: "Snaky?"
 

RESPECT!!!

RE: "Snaky?"
 

RESPECT???

RE: "Snaky?"
 

Amen:)


Great post TDWW, I needed a good laugh today:D




Oh, and good job whippin that yankees' ass

RE: "Snaky?"
 

Anymore this forum is just a pissing contest forum...
Is Florida the state in which I will take a monster anything....I doubt it.

RE: "Snaky?"
 

Yeah that was alright. Not some of TDWW's better work but it will do.

I don't know what to make of this alter-ego poster, TDWW. And it really don't matter. He could be anything from Paul Bunyun to a silly, limp wristed Sally.

Still better than reading another unsolicited post from TR Michaels!

RE: "Snaky?"
 

TDWW, respect given!

TDWW, please, when quoting Charlie Daniels; quotations are a necessity-

RE: "Snaky?"
 

Always get a kick out of reading TDWW posts.
