Grenada Lake. Apparently there was a fox hunt around Grenada Lake. The dogs saw a deer and chased the deer into the water. A couple of fisherman ended up rescuing 38 dogs from drowning.
Fishing crew rescues 38 dogs treading water in lake
The crew loaded 27 dogs into the boat for the first load and took them to shore. They then went back and rescued 11 more.

I've never heard of anything like this and have seen hundreds of dogs swim and retrieve. Maybe they tried out some shrooms during the hunt.
yes, because they are there.
That’s why I’m thinking, my lab would swim around in there for 24 hours and not want to leave
Feral hogs too, no? I hate dem sumbiches. Amazing how citified coyotes have become here in Fort Worth. Wild pigs 17 ugh lotta schit up round here too.
Same reason I don't kill snakes. If I were to run up on a poisonous one, I'd just move it some place away from people. 17 rats though. Ain't killing nothin' dat eats dem sumbiches.
We had a weird experience with feral hogs. They showed up on camera two summers ago, I got approved for a trap from the state, but before the trap was even installed the hogs disappeared and have never returned.
When I was just a wee little lad back in the 60's my dad and grandfather took me to a "Coon on the Log" event one Sunday afternoon down in the Pine Belt region of MS. The organizer would put a "coon on a log" and push the log out into a pond while the coon dog owners were standing there w/ their dogs on a leash. Spectators were meanwhile placing bets on which dog would swim out and be able to pull the coon off the log first. Don't start feeling too sorry for the coon, a big ole coon could defend itself well and would sometimes last past the time limit out on the spectacle and there were dogs that would swim and try to get that coon till they would drown. I think these events were on days there weren't roster flights. I never heard about any dog fights back then though
Or the opening to one of the greatest adventure tales ever recorded
Good point as I've had a few pet snakes in my younger days and have always studied them. People get too complacent wirh poisonous ones though because the death rate is so low here but that's from the complete story. The pain can kick morphine's azz and many times life long scars and pain can happen. With my experience I could safely remove one with equipment but I wouldn't touch one like the professionals do.
Damn. I spent my 1st 17 yrs in Greenwood born in '63 and the next 7 in Jackson and thought I'd seen or at least heard it all. Lemme guess, you're just 17ing with me, no? Coons on a log? Sounds too good to be true.
Don't give up. They ALL need to be blasted to MorningStar's Domain including Women & Children. Never ate any but I'd try some. Been told they ain't too bad.
"We continue to follow a shocking animal cruelty story out of Mississippi about a pair of racist redneck Trump supporters accidentally saving a group of dogs that had been thrown into a lake by another group of racist redneck Trump supporters..."
I hear various things about how tasty they area. Some folks say they ain't worth fooling with (including my processor), others say the small ones are edible.
I used to hunt them all the time. The true wild hogs aren’t fit for nothing unless you’re starving. You will occasionally see a domestic hog that escaped and joined a feral pack and they aren’t terribly bad but still nothing like you’re buying in a grocery store. You get one that’s still nursing and cook it whole it’s pretty good. All in all they aren’t worth cleaning.
that's my thought too, unless times get much, much, much harder than they are now.

I've seen a fox several times just past my driveway back toward town on Blackjack. I hear coyotes all the time. Years ago my 55lb Border Collie (big for a Border Collie) tied up with one in the edge of my yard. My dog had blood on him but after checking him out, it wasn't his. The damn coyote looked like a German Shepard with gold eyes. I had noticed how big some of the coyotes are around here are so I researched it and found out that we used to have Red Wolves around here and they bred with the coyotes. The people "in the know" claim they are all extinct in this area but I read a story where a woman in the Florida panhandle took a photo of one from her kitchen window several years ago. Also, something eventually got my Border Collie. The day after he died I walked the property with my rifle trying to find what got him and I found a huge canine track down by our pond. I went back with a measuring tape and compared the width of the track to our 70lb Lab/Border Collie mix and the track by the pond was 1.5 times the width of the Lab/Collie's footprint.
