It's always a good thing to let the animal sit for atleast 6-8 hours un-pressured if you're not sure of the shot placement. Also remember that if you wound an animal and you lose track of the blood trail, chances are good that they'll always go down hill or to the nearest thick cover. By following these two tips, you should never lose a wounded animal.

Thanks for all those tips. I don't have the patience to wait 6-8 hrs. But I wouldn't mind waiting 30 minutes. Then I'll tiptoe after it.

Nice Way to tell the story with pics. How far did she run? What ever happened to that buck you took a pic of?

Looks like she got to just to the edge of the cornfield. If you look at the first and last pictures, you'll see the woods near the edge of the cornfield where she's found.

So the word Pa Ndau is becoming an English word. That's great! So is the word Hmong.

When I was in college, a Caucasian art classmate told me I should encourage the Hmong to continue stitching our embroideries. I told her appliques could be used in its place. She said that wasn't original enough. However, with today's fast-paced society, we don't have the time to stitch every string onto cloth anymore.

Hm...I've heard stories of cats coming to a house when an old person is sick. A aunt passed away after some cats came to her garage years ago when she was real sick. Then the cats disappeared.

I wonder why they would try to release the pitbull though. Dogs attack spirits, especially dogs that have spotted eyes images. Maybe you take a permanent marker and put two dots above the pitbull's eyes. See if anything will take off the chain again.

Scariest shit that just happened this morning!!!!10-15-10

around 2:30 in the morning..My father was feeling chest pain and feeling shortness of breathe so i just recently came from work around 1? so i called the emergency ambulance to come get him to the hospital.

after me and my father left to the hospital, around 3 my mom wasn't asleep...becau se worrying about my father
my brother was sleeping in his room with the windows open that's how he likes it..stuffy i guess
well he started hearing somebody saying "koj txiv aws! koj txiv aws!" in a low tone of voice that you can actually hear if there's not other loud sounds over it from outside which is on the same side of the front door..yet my mother was in her bedroom..she also heard like people touching things or making noise at the front door....
.it's werid that my mom wasn't the one that was saying "koj txiv aws! koj txiv aws! because we asked her" and she also heard the sounds too...but not as clearly as my brother...and this house we lived never experienced anything like that ever since we moved in until now..yet there's been lots of cats showing up lately everywhere and a couple of black cats too..stray pretty much

another story was my brother pitbull will always get loose early every morning..it's pretty much weird because it looks like some unchained him because he had one of those connecting hooks that you'll have to pull down to unhook the chain from the dog's neck..a dog cannot do that..and that pitbull will never let anyone he doesn't know near him besides me, my brother and my mom

Yeah, you've read too much into this. But that's not necessarily a bad thing. Knowledge is power after all!!! Seems like what you are saying is true, according to what shamans have told me, too.

I especially like the early morning time--a brief moment for day and night to swap lives, say the Hmong. All night long, there was this morning moment that gets the darkest. That's when the demons/ghosts/spirits are supposed to go through the gate into their world. If they don't make it at that moment, they are stuck for the day. Then things can happen to them...or they can cause problems to humans...appar ently, many don't always make it everyday!

It was said that supernatural activities occur mostly between midnight and 3 a.m. This is known as the witching hours. Between 3 and 6 am, the demon hours.

There was a mythical rumor that humans have access to heaven around these deep resting hours. Heaven hour is around 3 a.m.

My assumption is that ghosts hang around human beings during these hours because they can't access heaven. Ok, too much reading into ghosts and spirits is not good.

Read haunted materials with precautionary measures.

I do applaud the guy for doing the work. It must have been hard work over several years to come that close. But I see some things that aren't accurate. I wouldn't want to follow his examples or rules...I wonder why he didn't collaborate with a Hmong scholar on this work. There are a few teaching at the universities already.

When I was still a medical interpreter, I went to help a guy at his house. His wife had been sick and on the bed all the time. "Qee zaum nws hais lus tsis yog lus li lawm tiag," he told me. "Ua cas koj hais li ko?" I asked. "Es tej chim nws cia li hais tias 'tsuag, tsuag, nqa kawm peb yuav mus de dib os' no na." She would say that while she was ill on the bed unable to get up.

There is a story about some dead person reaching for a chicken over his head. This happened back in Laos. I am not sure when or exactly where. But the elders have passed the story on and on and so I heard it back in the camps when I was a little boy.
