Could it be that Bubba had too much camp chili and is looking for the outhouse?
For more years than I care to remember I have heard stories about "things" in the woods in East Texas (Big Thicket) , Louisiana, and Oklahoma. I have hunted these woods for half a century and the only thing I have ever seen that frighten me was when I accidentally walked up on my friend Vern's wife Louise as she was doing her business.......boy that wan not only scary, it was ugly too.
