LOL! I got an image in my mind, after reading all of the above, of a group of hillbillies "scoping out" a bunch of "wannabees" from the city trying to set up a camp in the woods. The hillbillies have been looking for the reason one of their hogs came up missing. The conversations would probably go like this:
"Well, I do declare! That fella thar has one of them big tall trucks will big tires all the way 'round on the ground. I betcha that thar thang could climb a tree backards! Ever dang tire has some go behind it! If I had that thang I could put out hay all winter and never get stuck. He's mine, not yoren!"
And: "Hey! Looka thar! That other fella has one of the new-fangled black shoot-guns with a clip dropping down almost all the way to the ground! That's one of them thangs you can load on Sunday and shoot all week! Always wanted me one of them. He be belonging to me! The rest of ya'll leave him be!"
And: "Well shut my mouth! That one fella has on some of them clothes that makes ya invisible in the woods! If he hatna moved, I never would have seed him. If I had them camies I could sneak up on a wild turkey and grab it by the leg! I could sneak over to Lula Bell's house and her daddy would never me a'coming! Now fellas, I want them clothes. He's mine!"
And it could go on and one, for just about every item that wannabees stock up on! Anybody planning on hitting the woods in these parts should plan on approaching a house in daylight, hailing the house, being friendly and not menacing, being polite and not pushy, ASKING for something instead of planning on stealing or poaching it, asking for permission to camp for the night in the vicinity, leaving when you said you would, and be aware that the word would go out that strangers are in the area and everybody around there would be on high alert with itchy trigger fingers.
Sometimes a little politeness, and honesty, and saying what you do and doing what you say, can be much more beneficial to you as opposed to what a lot of these people on these boards are planning on doing. Just my thinking on the subject.
