Odd things you've seen.

This was fairly random on the OK/KS line.



Apparently back in the 1940s this was a happening night club that Bob Wills would play at.  I think it burned in the late 40s or 50s

Was out for a ride Christmas day a few years back, snow on the ground.  Had to stop to let a flock of turkey cross the road.  Bringing up the rear was a cock pheasant.  Figured he was letting the birds scratch the corn field, and he was picking the leftovers.

About ten years ago I was hunting a large tract of private land in North Mississippi. The property was very remote—it was at least a half mile from the road and I had to go through two locked gates to get there.  I was hunting early in the season so the temps were chilly—in the mid 30's. About 9:30 AM I begin to work a gobbler and decided to make a move on him in an effort to get in front of the way he was headed. I dropped down into a steep sided creek that was about ½ inch deep with little sand bars on each side. The steep sides offered me excellent cover as I eased up to get in front of the gobbler. I had only gone a short ways when I saw something that stopped me cold-----I saw a fresh set of human foot prints---barefoot prints. They seemed crisp and fresh and in my mind I envisioned some barefoot dude just ahead of me around the next bend.  I pondered the situation---"who in the heck could be in here this far back on such a cold morning barefooted??"  I don't consider myself a spooky kind of guy, but I was decidedly "spooked".  I decided my best move was to back out of there and leave the barefoot guy to his own pursuits.

A baby doll.  I was walking down a road when I got so startled that I nearly jumped out of my boots.  It turned out to be a baby doll that someone had placed on a sapling with bailing wire around its neck.  It had .22 caliber holes in its forehead.  Like to scared me to death.  The road was thereafter known as Baby Doll Road.
