Them's ma cousins! What's wif that pitchur y'all don't like? Done paid cash money to get er done.


BTW, was out squirrel hunting Thursday in the general area of where they filmed that old moving picture show. But didn't see anybody but high falootin horseback riders and mountain bikers way back at the entrance to the Nat'l Forest!

Filmed near Helen, Georgia. I worked a show once in Dalton, Georgia back in the 90's and saw a family of five come in and buy five Chicom SKS rifles, a case of ammo for each and out the door they went, back to the mountains. It was amazing to see five people that all looked alike with only three teeth and seven strands of hair amongst them! Something tells me that when the rest of the country collapses, they won't even be bothered!!

Guess Brian there are things better left to nature and not venture too far from the road nor try canoeing down a backwood river!

Unless you have a sleveless wet suit top and a compound bow.

Given that my father and unles grew up as tenant farmers/sharecroppers and lived without running water and often dirt floored houses, it's kind of amazing that they ended up as a Phd, a history teacher, and a supervisor for C130 construction crews. Makes you wonder what those two's future held.


But we don't all stray too far from our roots:



Tasty critter! An uncle introduced me to rifles and hunting and it stuck. (LH rifle)



A little farther south and a day earlier in the week than my "Deliverance" regional hunt, but still a little hilly.


Those boys in the movie simply didn't take enough guns and knives to be left alone from the riff raff of the area. But then there wouldn't have been much of a movie!

We've still got neanderthals like that walking the streets of Abingdon most Saturday nights. So do most other small country towns I suspect....... And when they get a few beers inside them they become Goliath - in their dreams!

The little lad on the veranda played a mean banjo though, and apparently not prompted, but left in the film

We had this fellow, among others here in western Washington State. John Tornow's picture is on the second page. I'm quite sure I have seen relatives of those twins walking around Seattle. Tom

Billy Redden - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

"Redden did not play the banjo. A local musician, Mike Addis, reached around from behind Redden; his playing was disguised using careful camera angles."
