Another tale to add to the mule file under "why I'll never hunt with a mule".
A guy from Alpine, Frank Allison, was hunting down in the rough stuff where I chased the bear right before christmas. He's 3 miles from the truck when his mule goes freaky over who knows what. The accident report is as follows; arm broken in two places, leg broken, knee broken, nose split from eyebrows to lips and takes 180 stitches to sew up.
After the carnage the mule is calm, lets him get back on and ride out. When he got to his pickup that is parked 100 yards off the road and dismounts he passes out and then can't get back up even when his senses return. He crawls the 100 yards to the pavement and waits for a car to come by. Two cars pass before a kid from Eagar picks him up, gets things orgainized and takes him to the nearest hospital, only 120 miles away on a road where the average speed is 45 mph.
Mules should be reserved for wolf bait. This is the 1st time in 7 years that this mule has ever done anything like this. How many times have I heard thatx( x(
