K
H is dad, Larry Lafol
lette, was the music di
rector at the church in Starke,
Fla. some twenty years ago.
I happened to be the preach
er, and Larry and I both en
joyed deer hunting.
Larry raised some mighty
fine hunting dogs and was a
big coon hunter as well.
I went coon hunting with
him one time, and that was
enough for me. Walking
through swamps in the dead
of night, stepping over logs,
and wondering where the wa
ter moccasin snakes were, as
well as trying to figure out
where in the world we were,
was enough.
Scott, and his sister Amy,
were just little ones back then,
I reckon they must have been
around four and six, or per
haps a bit younger. I recall
their playing in the sand on a
dirt road in our hunting club
while we waited for the dogs
to jump deer.
A lot of great times
were spent at their
place in the coun
try with my entire
family. There were
horses to ride, one
named Skipper, not
named after me, but
a gentle one the chil
dren could all ride.
My daughter, who
loves horses, spent
much time at the La-
follettes’ place.
Larry was a farrier and still
is, though I believe he has
slowed down a bit, after many
horse related injuries. Many
a night, my daughter Heather
and I have spent, along with
Larry and his crew, waiting
for the dogs to come out of the
swamp after a deer chase.
The hour would be late, but
courtesy demanded that you
stay until the last dog was
caught up, or the owner de
cided to come back the next
morning to find his dog.
Now Scott is grown
up, and his sister
Amy is in college.
Scott had a great
week hunting last
week. Hunting on the
family property, on
Wednesday he took
a nice eight-pointer.
He followed that up
with a nine-pointer
from the same area
on Saturday. You cer
tainly can’t do much
better than that.
Congratulations Scott on
such great success.
Looks like in Banks Coun
ty, the rut ought to be in this
week and next, with herds of
bucks chasing does.
Let me know how you do.
