Default Boogey Man Bob

I posted this story on MC last year but I don't think I posted it here

In the 1960s I lived and hunted in central Ga. I had made a homemade camo suit by tie dyeing a pair of coveralls. Put them on ,took a burnt cork and streaked my face and went hunting with my 30-40 Krag carbine.
I found an old sawdust pile and climbed up about six feet and buried myself in the sawdust except for my face and rifle.
Shortly afterwards two kids drove up in a flatbed truck and backed up to the sawdust pile. These boys could barely see over the steering wheel. They jumped out with shovels and started loading the truck with sawdust. As they were about to dig me out I stood up and shook the sawdust off. The terror stricken boys never made a sound. They just threw the shovels straight up and took off running.
I left and went further in the woods to hunt. About dark I came back by on the way home and the truck and shovels were still there. I would have loved to have heard the tale they told when they got home

That's a howl! Great story. Too bad the look on their faces wasn't caught on video.

They probably had to stop and change their drawers on the way home.

THey probably ran right out of them, when they got too heavy with a load!
