Snox, doesn't it get cold enough up there that it was the reason for them making 2 man stands, so y'all can share body heat???? Unless we are training a kid or novice, we generally don't use them unless we're staying a day or 2 and need the room for a drink cooler.
Do you have many hogs up there. Years ago, my uncle John had a couple hundred acre pig farm in Indiana around Lebanon, Zionsville or somewhere in that area. That was about 50 years ago. John warned me about those hogs and I didn't listen. I picked up a runt, he squeeled, momma was parting the herd, I dropped the pig and momma just about got me as I went over a fence that I'd been standing by the whole time. I listened the rest of that trip.
The next year I got stomped by a horse that had just foaled and while riding her (Sugar) I pushed the foal off of my leg. She threw me into a thissel patch and stomped me real good. I might also mention that the thissel is a little thornier than what we have down here. I never forgot that; they had to pull thissel out of me for what seemed like hours. The rest got infected. They popped out alot easier than the others. My dad,s family was from Whitestown, In.
I had forgotten about most of that until now.
Later, Paul
