Turkeygirl Posted October 7, 2012 Report Share Posted October 7, 2012 Friday I was going out to shoot my bow, I have a pair of Muck Shoes...they were on the backporch, I go to stick my one foot in and it hits something at the front of the shoe...felt firm...I thought it was a piece of bark or something. Well I partially took my shoe off my foot and shook it...nothing. Put it back on and pick up my bow...hmmm...something is still in there, I kept wiggling my toe back and forth....finally I just pull the shoe off with my hand and bang it on the porch railing....I look and a mouse falls out inside my shoe!! I was so surprised I screamed, and the mouse jumped out and ran across the porch! I went in the house then came back out, found one of the dogs got it for me and left it dead on the porch for me to find.... So check your shoes!!!

535hunter Posted October 7, 2012 Report Share Posted October 7, 2012 Being deployed I have learned to always shake my boots. Its drilled in my head to do so. I even do it.when I put on my street shoes. I have to agree that you are lucky you didn't get bit by anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turkeygirl Posted October 7, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 7, 2012 I think the mouse was either too scared or maybe the smell in my shoes sedated it somewhat,lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ethan Givan Posted October 10, 2012 Report Share Posted October 10, 2012 I always shake my boots out if they have been setting somewhere other than inside the house. I have had spiders fall out of them before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turkeygirl Posted October 11, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 11, 2012 The saga continues...The other day went to pull my insulated clothing for hunting out of the closet....something decided to stash seeds between the bottom layers of my clothing pile....what a mess....there are now mouse traps set and here's to hoping I don't forget about them,lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calvin55 Posted December 1, 2012 Report Share Posted December 1, 2012 Yeah its good advice from your side always check your shoes before wearing. you are lucky that it was mouse except than any dangerous reptile.
