I was invited to go with my granddaughter, Victoria, and hubby, Jamie, to hunt at Campbell Swamp. I've heard of this place south of town all my life. It was owned by the Anderson-Tully Company (Lumber Mill) years ago and was sold. My former husband worked for ATCO as a personnel manager. We had three places to hunt, but not here. It was a pretty windy day, but a great place to hunt.
If this old deer stand could talk. It would have a lot of hunting stories to tell. It was to the left of the deer stand I was in.
This was the deer stand I was in. You could put at least 3 people in it. I would have camouflaged it myself.
Looking out the front window with a wide view. Moveable plexiglass was used for windows.
This was behind me.
This was to the right of me.
This is to the left of me.
It was full of dead wasps.
As the sun was setting, a cardinal came by to see me. They say it is a belief that seeing a bright red cardinal is a divine message, often meaning a deceased loved one is visiting, a sign of hope, or a reminder that angels or God's presence is near.
No deer, but I enjoyed being back in the woods again after two years of illnesses and hospital stays. I have until the end of January to hunt here in Mississippi. Next time.
