... the hounds were off as the hunter crossed the bayhead.
The hunter's son hung onto his back with his small arms slung in careless array around his Pa's neck.
Beyond laid Buck's Trail which promised to lead the hunter and his son out of the Blue Creek back country
to their waiting jeep. For now the hunter gripped his shot gun with one hand as he pulled on cypress limbs
just to keep balance. Every bone in his body hurt. However nothing hurt more than knowing the day would end
without a buck. As the hunter's feet sunk in the pet moss a cold chill crossed his mind. Quicksand! Ahead of him rose up
a mound of root mass entangled within cypress knees. Just as he reached that dry place an eight pointer bolted
from its hiding place causing both the hunter and his son to fall back against a baytree.
The shotgun discharged dropping the buck at their feet. Deer season would end an hour later.
Whether in a Florida cypress bayhead or north in the Great Dominion deer and elk
have graced the artist's canvas in colors found only in Barry's Antler County.
