It's a long story best left where it is...in the past!

Slow down boss, I didnt accuse anyone of anything. I just asked a question.

Dang, what she do to deserve killing?

If it's been investigated and the law said it was justified then whats the harm in telling the tale? Saying chit like this and Skinny's little comment make it sound like they might have got away with something they shouldnt have done.

She was not harmed

I was referring to this.

I ran with a fella named Roy Bonner from Camden that I met at Auburn. He was close friends with Bains son Fred. I hunted a good bit with Fred over the years, and helped him some working at the farm at Millers Ferry. When I hunted Wilcox Co I spent prolly half my time helping do everyday work chores with folks I hunted with, stayed at their houses, ate at their tables. They were, and are, the salt of the earth as far as I am concerned. Good , hard working folks that treated me like family. I would go down and stay at Roys mommas house in town when Roy was out of town duck hunting. I tried my best to talk my wife into moving to Camden but she didn't want to go that far from Birmingham.

Ralph Martin Sr and Jr right in there were and are fine folks too. Had many a load of fertilizer fly out of their airstrip right by the catfish ponds south of the highway

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.

Ha. David Gaston. Overseer. Oxymoron

I haven't seen him in nearly 35 years. Is he even still around?

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?

not sure Peach, I'm thinking not but could be wrong.

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 saw Charlie last time I was in Thomasville and ate at the grill.

I've known both of them for near 45 years. Damn, I am getting old.

You’re not “getting” old. You’re already old as hell.

Are they the ones who have the barb wire/fence in the river to keep you out of their fishing hole?

Yep, They were deeded the gravel pit when the reservoir was being built. They have since sold most of the property around it though.
