A Scary Hunting Experience
chronicled by
Bill Campbell
Actually David Sundquist and I used to go over there every Saturday morning at 3 A.M.
to hunt until daylight. One time I was over there and had taken my brother Jack who
was seven. I was hunting pidgeons and so had very light shot in my shells . (# 8) .
When a huge ocelot came walking out and sat down right beside me. I just put the
barrel against his head and ....brought him home with me. He weighed almost 100
pounds. (SCARY).
Then on the way home we caught a neckie (agoti) swimming the river and brought
him home as a pet, but he excaped that night. Anyway....many adventures!
Actually there wasn't a place around that I didn't know about because I spent years
exploring everywhere on the canal and up the Chagres. One place I didn't experience
was the graveyard over in the Mandinga River. I used to go over there and get off the
boat by the bridge and go on the trails hunting.
