Ralph and Olivia Martin were two of the finest folks I have ever met. I used to carry Little Ralph turkey hunting when he was young. Fine , fine folks. Miss Olivia is probably my favoriteSouthern Lady.
I used to turkey hunt her place on 41 north of Camden on Pine Barren Creek, the Jean Watts place. LOTS of turkeys. We used to lease 1800 acres from Olivia Martin in the mid 80's. The land was up 41 about nine miles north of Camden. That place was full of deer and turkey. David Gaston was the overseer of the lease and claimed the turkey rights. I would love to see what pictures of bucks looked like back then in that area.

I ate lunch with David a coupleathree years ago. He's in Thomasville. I talk to him every now and then.
One of the best turkey hunters I ever hunted with, run the hail out of a snuff can. Is he still in the restaurant business? His brother Charlie still runs Gaston's Grill in Thomasville. David is retired and still in Thomasville, he makes some pretty good duck calls. I've bought 2 duck calls from him. I asked him about having my late sons name engraved on one. He made it happen and turned out great. I have another with my oldest sons name.engraved and still havent got around to get my baby boy one with his name too. David makes some great calls and a great guy to conversate with.

Danny, my truck burned a front axle bearing right near Ralph and Olivias house one night. Night of Jan 1 to be exact, about 3 in the morning. Wasn't going to make Camden on it so I just pulled over in front of their house and slept in the truck till daylight. Bout 7 er so I walked up to the house and knocked on the door. Miss Olivia answered and ushered me inside. When she heard I had slept in the truck she bout skinned me alive for not coming up to the house and waking her. Sat me down and fixed me breakfast. Ralph and I went down to the truck and looked it over, then called the Chevrolet place owner Johnny Webb at 9am on Jan 1 to meet us at the dealership. Ralph drove us to camden, met Johnny and got the part, then back to Ralphs house. We moved the truck to Ralphs shop and Ralph replaced the bearing. Back to the house to say goodbye to Miss Olivia and on my way to Camden. Lord Mercy, there ain't many folks as fine as Ralph and Olivia in the is world. I count my blessings I could call them friends.
I've spent most of the money I've made in my lifetime on hunting and fishing. The rest I just wasted.....

Ralph and Olivia Martin were two of the finest folks I have ever met. I used to carry Little Ralph turkey hunting when he was young. Fine , fine folks. Miss Olivia is probably my favoriteSouthern Lady. I went to school with Ralph Jr when we were in elementary school at Catherine Academy. His mom Mrs Olivia was the most quintessential example of a proper southern lady I have ever met in my life. Always wore white gloves and a hat. Spoke with the most aristocratic sounding southern accent you ever heard. When I would go home with Ralph after school she would ask us what we wanted for supper and then call ahead to home on the CB radio (this was waaaay before cell phones) and tell the maid what to start cooking us for supper. Always seemed so odd to me to see such a proper southern lady with white gloves on talking into a CB radio. LOL! Fine people. Ralph switched to Wilcox Academy later on and I didn't see him for quite a while. Ran into him years ago at a NWTF banquet.

My Daddy and a handful of Others formed a club about halfway between Selma and Camden down 41....in 1968....10,000 acres of Miller Lumber Co. land....mostly bordering the River....Elm Bluff Hunting Club was Born. Bucks weighing 230 to 250 were common....with HUGE MASS. Biggest was a 317 BRUTE taken on a Dog Drive in 1971. Soybean was king and pressure was light back then....very few folks hunted during the week...... I hunt on a portion of that property now.
