One of the blogs I visit pretty much every day is Rex Howell’s Deer Camp. Rex was one of the first bloggers I “met” in the blogosphere, and his site is always entertaining and occasionally educational. From his family’s Christmas Place Hunting Camp in Mississippi, he comes up with hilarious tales of tomfoolery with his dad, brothers, friends, and Camo the Wonderdog. He writes some fun ghost stories as well. Those southern woods are full of scary stuff, and the history of the region is rife with secrets and untold tales.
Of course, being in MS, those woods are also full of hogs. Rex, knowing my penchant for porkchops, keeps me looped in on the porcine goings on down there, and teases me constantly with invitations to come down and, “help out with their hog problem.”
One of these days, I am going to just hop on a plane and fly out there. Those Mississippi pigs will never know what hit them! But in the meantime, Rex’s brother Burney appears to be on a hog killing rampage. Here’s his latest, and with deer season just now getting underway, I’m pretty sure it won’t be his last. (The picture is pretty small, but you can get the idea. I think Rex is secretly jealous that his brother keeps killing the hogs while Rex is stuck behind the computer writing his blog.)
If you haven’t already, you should definitely go check out Rex’s site. It’s almost halloween, so it’s guaranteed he’ll be cooking up some more tales of the Mississippi macabre, with a hunting story or two thrown in for good measure.
that was a very well put together post and a great plug for my site. Thank you, and I am not kidding, I would love to have you visit. In fact, see you soon.
thanks again. Rex
