Ben Lipscomb found himself lost in the flooded backwoods of Bayou Meto this week while duck hunting with his Labrador retriever, Josey Wales.

Probably out of his Cheese Doodles and Snickers bars within 5 minutes of leaving his house.

Lipscomb drank dirty bayou water and ate a raw duck breast before he was spotted.

Going along with a theme based on the stories title, was it the bayou water or the raw duck meat that made him break out in spots?

Better than having to eat your own fingers, plus it gets harder with each passing day!
