Many good tales have been told here over the years, but now many are deeply embedded in the data. Gurus, Masters, and Pros, retell your tales, and new and newer members, tell us yours.
Here's one: "Bull Calf in a Swimming Pool."
We six hunters had just taken our line into a promising field when the farmer's teenage son came along in a pickup honking and waving us over to him. He said a calf had fallen into a swimming pool and his dad wanted us (mostly city slickers) to get it out. Yep, out in the middle nowhere in western Kansas an old abandoned farmstead had an in-ground cement pool with deep and shallow ends. Standing in foot-deep slime in the deep end was a black bull calf with some sharp little horns on him. Someone got a rope and we pulled him out of the slime up to the dry shallow end. Then we pushed him to a corner, put his front legs over the edge and used a post to hoist up his hind quarters and then shove his ass over to the ground. Up to this point he was real nice. As soon as his butt hit dirt, he got ornery and took the two guys holding the rope for a little heel skating. He finally jumped back over the hot wire and returned to his herd. True story!
