Lex,
I used to spend time in the swamp and on several occasions I
visited Lem Griffith Fish Camp, deep in the swamp. Lem had a
shack there where he had set up his museum. He had an awful
looking critter there, stuffed. Looked kinda like yer jackalope.
Anyway, he claimed to have gotten drunk one night, went hunting
and killed that thing. Said that he hadn't taken a drink since.
Guess that must have been forty years ago and I remember like it
was yesterday :-)
