>In the Creedence Clearwater Revival song, "Down on the Bayou," John Fogarty

>My hound dog isn't so old, but she's flushed out mourning doves, cardinals,
>and white tail deer; she chases squirrels, rabbits, crows, cats, and
>raccoons, stalked a jogger, scared the mailman, and even barked up the

>tree, but, to either or our knowledge, she's never chased down a hoodoo.

>We don't have a bayou here, just some sparse suburban woods, but can
>hoodoos
>be found in Silver Spring? Do they sleep in the daytime, and then come out
>at night to raid suburban garbage cans, like the raccoons and possums do?
>
>Can a young hound dog ever chase a hoodoo down? And if she caught one, are
>they edible? And if so, how do you cook one? Do you stew a hoodoo, or
>fondu a hoodoo, or could you simmer one in a ragu?

>Thank you for your attention to this matter.
