Live Decoy

Lonnie Gene Whitmire (no relation) are what we calls a hunting guide. Peoples from the city come here at different times of the year to go hunting. Last year during duck hunting season this fellow from Memphis come down and hired Lonnie Gene to take him out to Lake Overlooked to shoot ducks. When they got out there seems like the man forgot to pack up his decoys. Since Lonnie Gene are what you call a natural hunter he don't never use decoys and tried to talk the man into leaving that part of hunting out of the picture. The man warn't interested in Lonnie Gene's advice and spotted this lone duck waddling around on the lakeshore. Well he proceeded to catch it and tie a rope around its neck. Then he wrapped and tied the other end around a heavy rock. Lonnie Gene named that duck Little Susie, right on the spot. He's been talking about that Memphis man ever since saying, "That dumb city slicker. He caught poor Little Susie, tied 6 foot of rope around her neck, anchored it with a big rock and dropped it in 10 foot of water. Poor Little Susie." Of course Lonnie Gene used the hottest kind of language which I ain't gonna expose to all y'all nice peoples.
