Title: Name the turd in the Big Cypress Swamp.
Post by: Parnell on April 10, 2010, 04:32:13 am
Last week I'd gone out hunting for my first time, really.  I didn't shoot a shot.  I did have a couple of opportunities to shoot alligators but I'd figured it'd probably be a really bad idea.  I did sit down to eat for a few minutes and enjoyed the sound of a raccon stalking me, through the marsh.  Took off like a bat'outa'hell at it's first glimpse of me, though.  Wish I had the camera for that!  Even better, a sound recorder for the splashing back to the palmetto stand!
It was a fine day out in the swamp.  Still, a little on the cool side.
That turd sure had a strong smell to it and surprisingly, I felt hungry shortly afterwards.  Does that make me strange?
 ;D
Hope you like the pictures.

 Being white like it is, I'd say a gator turd.

Well I'd say it's Shinola but some say I don't know the difference. ;D

     Having seen the same thing in Montana, and in north Fla., I'd say Yote!   ;)

 Maybe a little water and bee's wax, then heat a little and it might just be "Shinola" ;D

 Timo.... that Shinola reference was something my dad would often say.  Thanks for making me remember!! :)

I can't say that I've actually ever seen Shinola, and growing up my father kept letting me know that they weren't the same thing also.  Is Shinola brown?  I imagine it might be brown...
Is it creamy or lumpy?   ??? ;D
A turd named Doug?  Hmm. 
I once met a turd named Doug,
that asked for a sip from my mug,
He smelled kind of strange,
and said "keep the change"
My mug, he surely did chug. :D

Alligator, Eddie?  Can't say I've seen a gator turd yet.  Interesting.

 Then again where you were at, it could be a young Skunk Ape Turd.

     I didnn't want to metntion that possibility, since the tourists might not come down with their stimulus money...... ;D

I was on the lookout for SkunkApe Turds.  If I actually found some I'd consider having them bronzed. Make for an intersting desk-weight, or something... ;D
Title: Re: Name the turd in the Big Cypress Swamp.
Post by: stickbender on April 13, 2010, 03:50:08 am

     I don't think it is coon, no berries, or crayfish shells.  If you actually found a pile of Skunk Ape scat, you better have a BIG desk!
Then you have to think about transporting it to get it bronzed ::).......if the critter smells, just imagine...... :P :o  Then there is the box car load of car air fresheners to keep in the car for a couple of years till the smell dissipates....... :o  I mean just how long can you stand the smell of fake pine......

easy solution to that one, cut up a box of pine lighter and shove it under the seat.  ;D

and id say it is a turd of some sort as well. most likly a swamp dwelling creature, obviously one that eats. deffinently not a fish,  ::)

lol id say its a yote.

Just out of curiosity - you guys that mentioned Skunk Ape - are you just foolin' or do any of ya's really believe in it?

Title: Re: Name the turd in the Big Cypress Swamp.

 Check out the Skunk Ape web site. You will be a believer, too. :) 8)

Actually Mullet, I already am  ;D    My question was if any of you were.

i wonder what skunk ape taste like?  ::)

Don't know, but I don't think I'd want to find out. Even if you did manage to kill one, you'd surely bring the fury of the rest of the gang down upon you. Somebody should come up with a GOOD sasquatch movie. One that even skeptics of the 'squatch want to see.

     I think I dated one's sister once...... ::)

But yes I do believe in the possibility, and the fact that I had a good Friend, and his Mother, who had an incouter when he and I were kids.  At the time we couldn't explain it, years later when we were much older, it all fell into place with all the descriptions, they fit it to a T.
