Default My god them huntsmans are fast!

Just jumped in the car and my lad looked in the back seat where there was a git big natty huntsman sitting.

My young un has never moved as fast in all his born days, it was so funny.
I told him to go in the house cos he was obviously shaken a bit.
I tried to bash it but it moved. I then went in the house to get a brush and when i came back it had gone

I found it again a few minutes later, tried to bash it and it got away again, this time it ran under my seat.
So i went in the house to get some spray and my lad had no clothes on, I was pissing me self. He said it was incase there was any in his clothes.
I eventually got it but then he tells me he thinks there was two.

I only bashed one, where's the other? No idea.

Eeeeeee my life is eventful, usually in a bad way

The other one is hiding. Just waiting to take revenge for you murdering his/her mate.

Saying that, though, I think if I found a Huntsman in my car I would never drive it again. I'd have to sell it and buy something they couldn't hide in. Maybe a bicycle.

My mate really put our minds at rest, he said if there's huntsmans there, they are probably after redbacks.

Thanks for that steve!

I don't know how it got in there either, the only thing i can think of is it was in the lettuce i bought today.

I have to leave for anywhere 10mins early when I am driving, just so I can check the car A mate said when she was driving and pulled down her sun visor one came down on her!!! So I do a full SAS clearance now on the car armed with the mortein spray So far no problems.

I picked up the junk mail from the mailbox a few days ago, took into the house to start reading and a huntsman fell out onto my foot and ran off. Managed to catch it in a plastic tub and let it go in the garden. They are scary, but they do eat redbacks so in my neck of the woods we like them....sort of.

Yep, we saw the hummer, and we had a little run out in it too.

Very nice indeed.
