Crazy co-incidence....I passed a possum out in the middle of Lake Maumelle about 1 mile from the shore he was coming from and at least 1/4 mile to where he was going. By the time I realized what he was and turned around, I couldn't find him. I guess my wake dun him in.

My hero!! Hate possums!!

That was no possum. It must have been an aquatic chupacabra. Deadly!!!!!

I hate rabid coons about like a possum hates an axe handle.

Sounds like distempher<sp?>

In my past experiences it has always been distempher, it is very hard on the coon population, Down in south Arkansas where I deer hunt, there was a bad case of it and it nearly wiped out the coon population, it was not uncommon when walking thru the woods to see several dead or dying coons. Thats what they did they would spin in circles and wallow out a hole in the dirt and leaves and eventually die. We did not see many coons in that neck of the deer woods for a couple of years. When one is affected generally the majority of the coon in that geographical location will get the desieze.

i thought that story was going to be about me when i read who wrote it and the topic.

Distempher makes sense, wouldnt think a radid coon would be swimmin
