Germany, while in the Army. My unitwent to the field for 3 days. On the
2nd night I was told that ibwas needed for a detail a special one.
I had to collect about 20 bayonets. The Mess Sargent called over the
radio for our supporting engineer company to come a dig a hole in the
ground for him. Right after the dinner mess was serverd, I had to take
the slop to the whole that was dug. I went down in the hole and placed
all the bayonets points up in the ground. I mad a trail from the
woodline to the hole in the ground, and waited. I fell asleep, was woke
up and told to report to the messhall, they caught a wild boar.
I was lowered into the ground, the thing was still alive, barely, I had
to cut its throat. Besides that I had to cut up the pieces and had them
up. I was covered from head to toe in blood. Never got the chance to
taste it though. Today, I received a package from the meat manager. The
owner of the store went boar hunting, prior to that, he spoke to me
about leaving and when he returned, he would have some meat for me. Its
been a while since I had some, but gonna give it a try again.
Second time I went hunting, and this time it was with a rifle, it was
deer hunting. Stationed at Ft Jackson, SC, my roommate from Tennessee
invite me home for the 4 day weekend we were having. I never drove
through the Ten. Mountains before, so it was a nice little trip. Got to
his home late night about 2am, and went straight to sleep. I slept in a
bunk bed, bottom bunk. Was woken up at about 4am to go hunting. Not only
did I shoot a deer, I also got to dress it too. Was bloodied through the
whole ordeal too, since it was my first deer hunt.
I NEVER want to do any hunting again...wait, maybe duck hunting, I will
give that a try.
