Hunters inspired by Kentucky Color 2024-01-21 - Metcalfe County, KY - Photo from family collection. The most recent Kentucky Color article by Billy Joe Fudge on Columbia Magazine reminded me of when my Uncles came home from Louisville to our farm in Sulphur Well, KY to hunt. Uncle Brent Anderson, left, with his treasured hunting dogs, and Uncle Russell Hughes at right, with his, would swoop in, get Dad, Earl Reid Marcum, and his dogs, and off they'd go. Hours later, they'd burst back in talking about their (using Billy Joe's term in the professional vernacular) Bird Dogs' awesome heroics which allowed them to bring in meat for the next meal. While my Mom Geniece Marcum prepared from-scratch homemade biscuits, white gravy and brown sugar syrup to go with the dressed kill frying in the iron skillets, the hunters would warm by the stove, telling stories of the current hunt, as well as remembered hunts and hilarious things that happened along the way, to their audience, Aunt Lois Anderson, Lovie Glynn Hughes and us kids.
