So my buddy and I were out quail hunting. We’d just busted up a covey and picked off a few singles and figured we’d wait for a bit, have some water and see if they’d start calling to regroup. No sooner had my buddy knelt down next to a bush to tie his boot when we hear a BUZZZZZ then my friend leaps up with his hand on his right back pocket as the rattler retreated into the desert. He immediately drops his trousers to reveal two fang marks in his right buttock. “Crap! We’re a mile from the truck. What are we gonna do?” I yelled. “Dude, relax! I need to you take my knife and make a small incision between the fang marks and suck out the venom. It’s my only chance.” He said. “Yeah, about that.” I said. “That’s not gonna happen.” “Come on! It’s our only choice!” He said. “You know what? I’m gonna get a second opinion.” I said as I pulled out my cell phone and dialed 911. I explained to the 911 operator what our situation was and, wouldn’t you know it, she told me to make a small incision between the fang marks and to suck out the venom. So, I asked “What if I don’t do that?” “Your friend is going to die.” She replied. “Thank you very much for your help ma’am. “ I said as I flipped the phone shut. “What they say?” My friend asked, looking a little paler now. “She said you’re gonna die.”

Great finds! Thanks for posting.

Thanks to everyone for their suggestions. You've given me some great leads.

Mija.

Good one! Reminds me of the "Front Fell Off" spoof:

Beautiful, as always. Thanks for posting.

Cool! Thanks for posting.

Great story and great pictures! Thanks for posting!

Great pics! Thanks for posting.

That's pretty wild! I wonder what would happen with Old Spice? Or the incurably hip '80s scent Drakkar Noir? I remember feeling pretty spiffy with that stuff.

First of all, I refuse to be drawn into these types of worthless endeavors. Second of all, it"ll be July 23rd! You heard me, the 23rd!

Great growth so far. I hope you get more pics of non-typical bull in the second to last picture. I'd like to see what he ends up looking like. Thanks for posting.

Come on, man! You can pixelate the massive velvelt antler growth of the bull and anything that you feel might give away the location. Seriously though. A clue would be nice. Rhymes with?

ASU! ASU!

No.

June 9th it is, my friends who've not put in yet. I smell litigation ("I move for the admission of Exhibit A, your honor, an e-mail from the Defendant.) Or at least a bonus point. Or maybe both.

Yowza! Thanks for posting.

Cool! Thanks for posting.

Awesome! Thanks for posting. I hope your summer hikes to check the cam yield the other side.

Great advice, TJ!

Quinton, I really like the way your essay begins and ends with a twig breaking. Beginnings and endings can be a difficult part of writing. Yours paints a great picture in the reader’s mind (your teacher would call that “imagery”). Great job! You’re getting some great advice on your essay. Correcting your own work is very difficult because your mind knows what you are trying to say and can speed over errors. No professional writer does the final edit of his (or her) own work. They have editors who do that. An extra set of eyes helps in writing just like it does in deer hunting. Mr. Quimby is a professional writer and editor. He gave you great advice for free when his services usually fetch either a large fee or a hefty hourly rate. Consider it a CouesWhitetail.com discount. Like he said, he wouldn’t have done that if he didn’t think you had talent. His biggest piece of advice was not to lose your enthusiasm for writing. So don’t. Words that sound the same but have different meanings are called “homophones.” And like azslim said, spell check won’t catch those. The reason I say this is that I bet Ms. Mckeen would be impressed if you said “Boy, those homophones can be tricky!” If she asked where you learned that you can say “My friends on CouesWhitetail.com!” Good luck and keep writing!

Good job, Kiddo!

I didn't want to look. But I had to. One of a kind photo for sure. Thanks for posting.

They won the series when they wore the Los Suns jerseys. In fact they swept it. So maybe the problem w/ the Lakers is that they didn't wear 'em.

Cool! Thanks for posting the pics!
