Billy's All Wet!


Bob took this funny/wet picture of Billy Boykin, Jr., at Brown's Point Hunting Club, Kings Point Island, around the new year about 19 years ago. Bob and I, Billy and his wife Lynn were the only ones at the camp hunting at the time. All the other hunters were smart and got out in time. The Mississippi River and the back waters had risen and the camp was slowly going under water. We had left our vehicles safely on the road and walked back to the deer camp to hunt some more. When we got ready to leave out the next morning, the water was so high that we decided to elect Billy to go and get the boat so we could get out. He had to wade into the cold frigid water to the other side to get the boat. It was not funny at the time for him, but as you can see he was trying to get his wet clothes off and change into some dry ones. Billy had harvested a deer the day before and we had to get our guns, etc., out of there. It was an adventure for sure! The look on his face tells it all! His favorite song he would sing all the time was, "I Feel Good"....but I don't think he was feeling so good at this point in time to sing, "I Feel Good"! More like "I Feel Brrrr Cold!
