This time of the year always conjured the nicest memories: fishing the local
gravel pits, living in fear of alligator gar, and taking my poor, worn Canon Rebel
into the woods in hopes of capturing an elusive 8-point, only to return covered in
mud and grime.
Nowadays, responsibilities don’t allow for as many outdoor excursions. That
is, unless they’re work-related. Can you see why this is my favorite issue of the
year yet?
This month, Click returns to the great outdoors for our annual celebration
Southern sportsmen and everything outdoors. From unique craftsmanship like
Reclaimed Helena’s one-of-a-kind handmade tables (page 16) to Southaven native
Skyelor Anderson’s country crooning (page 20), all the stories in this issue represent
that magical, rustic sense of life in the South. We’ve got a little something for
everyone here, from the majestic Mississippi treasures that are Wall Doxey state
park (74) and Fitch Farms (page 57) to the booming Byhalia tradition that is the
Smokin’ Guns at Rabbit Ridge SASS shooting competition (page 83).
Outdoor Channel’s Tiffany and Lee Lakosky graced us with their presence
this month, providing not only some surefire whitetail hunting tips, but also a
tantalizing venison taco pie recipe. Check out their interview on page 13.
So from all of us to all of you: Get out of the house. Enjoy those beautiful
surroundings. The skeeters are gone, I promise.
Happy Hunting,

Click Magazine: Tiffany, you’re a former flight attendant. Lee,
you ran an archery shop and studied to become a chemical
engineer. What brought you both to where you are now?
Lee Lakosky: Well, a total accident.
Tiffany Lakosky: (laughs)
LL: I worked in an archery shop through college and an oil
refinery for five years. I used to bring a camera out and film
stuff all the time. Not for a show or anything, just because
I like to go back and look at that stuff. Through the archery
shop, we went to Archery Trade Association show and met the
guys from RealTree: David Black, Michael, Bill and all those
guys. We were killing good whitetail already and Tiffany’s job
as a flight attendant allowed us to fly all over the country for
free. Denver, Western Nebraska, pretty much anywhere for
fun. I also wrote for a few outdoor magazines – again, just for
fun, money wasn’t really a big part of it. So, at this ATA show,
David suggested that I start filming stuff for Monster Bucks.
We produced a video hunt over the next year and it was one
of our best years. It was awesome. Growing up in Minnesota,
it was something I always wanted to do but seemed so out of
reach. So, doing all these videos before the age of Facebook,
Twitter and all that, we found out that a lot of people were
watching. I think we were in our second or third year, we were
THE DYNAMIC DUO OF LEE AND TIFFANY
Lakosky are revered throughout the hunting
world for their onscreen chemistry and laid-
back outlook on the outdoors. Now in their seventh
season of The Crush and celebrating the birth of
their baby boy, Cameron, the Lakoskys look to pen a
new chapter in their field guide.
contacted about a TV show to see if we had interest in hosting
it. Heck yeah! As long as I made half the money I was as an
engineer, I would be getting by doing what I loved. And here
we are 13 years later. It was pure luck.
CM: We’ve heard a lot about your personal whitetail
management program. Can you share some tips?
LL: Well, the biggest thing I’ve seen after doing it for a few
years is food. Food is number one. You’ve got to keep an eye on
those food plots to hold them in there. The second part is just
being smart about how you hunt and keeping the pressure
consistent throughout the year. For us, we consistently
maintain it throughout the whole summer with cameras and
feeders and other stuff in those places where deer get used
to you being there. That way, when hunting season finally
comes you get in there like it always was. It’s not like you’re
just pounding the place after not being there for nine months.
That way, deer see the same amount of human intrusion in
July as they do in September. You don’t want to cue the deer
off that something in the habitat has changed. That’s the key.
CM: How did you guys get the name for your current show,
The Crush?
LL: Well the first show for Outdoor Channel, Gettin’ Close
was the tagline and it kind of has a double meaning. Me and
Tiffany had just married, so we were kind of getting close with
animals and each other. The Crush, that was just one we kind
of threw out there. It was kind of similar to the previous title,
you know. You crush it at baseball, you crush it when hunting,
we have a crush on each other. In all honesty, it was kind of
tough since nowadays you have people claiming the names
for every possible show, website and publication out there. It
Click magazine | OCTOBER 2015 15
was one of the first names we threw out
and we just kept coming back to it.
TL: It all depends on what your own
personal goal is. For us, we try not to
shoot anything under five years old.
CM: Speaking of pressure, do you guys
ever feel pressured when there’s a
camera crew alongside you on hunts?
LL: We never feel much pressure out
there. Of course, you wanna get what
you’re after because a lot of money
goes into the hunts, but we never
feel pressure just to shoot something
because of the show. We’re not gonna
shoot something unless it’s old or we’re
absolutely happy with it. Out here in
Utah, we’ve passed bull after bull just
waiting for the right one. This includes
bulls that would be considered huge
in other areas. We also love waterfowl
stuff, so that kind of offers another
option if the big game hunts don’t go as
well as we planned.
CM: Do you guys ever hunt down South?
LL: We head down there a lot for
waterfowl, but most of our big-game
stuff takes place in the MidWest and
Canada.
TL: We haven’t in a while, but the
second place we ever went duck
hunting was down in Mississippi. I shot
my first banded duck down in Stuttgart,
Arkansas.
CM: An article in USA Today says you
play off each other’s differences. Care to
elaborate?
TL: We’re pretty lucky because they
film exactly what we do. The cameras
are rolling all the time, so they get
a lot of our personalities in there. I
would say that I’m kind of free-spirited,
happy all the time, whereas Lee, being
an engineer, thinks very mechanical
— everything has to be perfect all
the time. He pushes me to be a better
person and be more concise. When we
first started dating, every zipper on my
backpack would be open when we went
somewhere. Nowadays, that drives me
insane. I definitely bring out the lighter
side of him and he brings out the more
serious side of me.
CM: You guys are privy to a ton of
handcrafted venison recipes. What’s a
favorite dish?
TL: Definitely the taco pie. Some of our
breakfast casseroles are awesome. My
grandma was a huge cook and my mom
has kind of picked up on it, too.
CM: And your mother, she’s been on the
show as well, right?
TL: Yes! She got her first turkey, first
deer and first bear on the show. She also
smoked a great whitetail with a crossbow
in Iowa last year. She’s currently on the
road with us and having a blast.
CM: Are there any favorite or memorable
hunts you’d like to share?
LL: It’s kind of hard because they’re all
that way, but I’d have to say it’s when
Tiffany’s mom shot her first deer with
a muzzleloader in Iowa. Everybody
talks about that one. Her mom had
never hunted before, so it was really
interesting to see someone with no
prior interest become a hunter before
your eyes.

Reclaimed GloryReclaimed Helena scouts the heart of the
Delta to breathe new life into old wood
Story & Photos by CASEY HILDER
Click magazine | OCTOBER 2015 17
FOR JAN FELDMAN AND THE REST
of the team at Reclaimed Helena,
a little creative thinking and 128
like-minded citizens was all it took
to bring an all-new entrepreneurial
endeavor out of the woodwork.
“As we got going, through our Kick-
starter campaign and other methods,
it seems like the community really
embraced it,” he says. “Not just here in
Helena, but all across the Delta.”
The idea sprang from a conversation
piece in the house of a friend of co-
founder Misti Staley. A blackened shelf
made from refurbished from wood of
a burnt-out house in the West Helena
area drew Staley’s attention. Staley, a
local creative with a hand in many of
the colorful murals surrounding the
riverside city, decided to replicate the
look and feel of this piece of unique
furniture for the masses.
Shortly after, Staley and Feldman, a
28-year-old Swedish immigrant who
came to Helena to do flooring four years
ago, began crowdfunding their idea:
A business built on the untold stories
of the Delta through handcrafted,
American-made tables, benches, chairs
and drawing boards.
A Kickstarter campaign helmed by
Feldman and comprised of 128 backers
pledged $35,784 to help bring the team’s
vision to reality, drawing orders from

across Arkansas, Mississippi, and even
as far away as London, England.
“It’s a win-win proposition for our
city and its people,” says Helena-West
Helena Mayor Jay Hollowell. “We’ve
got all these dilapidated and burnt-out
houses that the city can’t afford to tear
down or store. Most all of that material
is not going to our landfills.”
With more than 30 new designs and
more in the process, the team of seven
entrepreneurs and artisans at Reclaimed
Helena set about gathering materials
and claiming a workspace. The team
was granted a small warehouse in
Downtown Helena through Thrive, a
nonprofit graphic design firm that helps
small businesses grow in conjunction
with the Helena Entrepreneur Center.
“This is our small business incubator,”
Feldman says of the warehouse that
stocks tons of reclaimed wood from
abandoned homes in the area. The
wood comes from a variety of sources,
including the old doors, fences, signs
and posts that fill the warehouse and
three trailers, all loaded to bear. “At
first we were scavenging a little bit,
asking for permission where we could,”
Feldman says. “But now, we work with
the city, the banks and the nonprofits to
directly acquire these old properties.”
While still in its first year of operation,
the team from Reclaimed Helena has
already orchestrated the demolition of
eight ailing properties with the help of
contracted assistance. The haul from
each site was staggering. “Think of a
building, you have the inside frame,
the outside, the floors — you come
back with a bunch,” Feldman says. “The
wood is amazing. All kinds, too. Two by
fours and more. Not the one-and-a-half
pieces you might find from your local
hardware store, the real, good stuff.”
“It’s a win-win proposition for our city
and its people”

The Skye Is The LimitSkyelor Anderson set to release
second EP, Somewhere
Story by MARY ECKERSLEY
up front music
AS IF IT HAS NOT BEEN SAID BEFORE, HERE IT IS
again: do not judge a book by its cover. People often
assume Skyelor Anderson is an R&B singer when
they see him, but this Southaven native is a country boy
at heart. “[Country music] is a life story. It’s real; it hits you
hard. It’s all about true passion to me,” says Anderson.
He began his affair with music at a young age, but really fell
in love with it when he came in first place during Southaven
Idol his freshman year of high school. If his name sounds
familiar, when he was 16 he auditioned for the first season
of the X Factor and made it through to round three at the
judges’ houses. “The X Factor taught me a lot music wise,
where to be professionally. It taught me how to not be stuck
in just one place in music, not just country. Taught me how
to take something from all parts of music. That was the good
part about it,” says Anderson.
Anderson has a voice beyond his years that has come a
long way since his time on the X Factor. It is like whiskey in
that the more it ages, the smoother it gets. Now, he is 20 and
working on his second EP entitled Somewhere, scheduled
for release later this year. The name comes from the title
track and the idea is that no matter what happens in life,
we all end up somewhere. Maybe plans don’t go as, well,
planned, but it all works itself out in the end.
For Anderson, like most songwriters, inspiration comes
from life and his observations. He will listen to stories from
and watch his friends and say, “I have got to write about
that,” or see somebody doing something and find a song
title in it. He says this new EP is different in that it will
feature a lot of his own life, the good, fun parts. “It’s about
everyday life; that’s where true country music should be
today,” says Anderson.
“This is where I’m from and I’m going to keep doing
what I’m doing and hope somebody notices me”
Click magazine | OCTOBER 2015 21
True to country style, Anderson’s songs are straight forward, getting to the heart
of the matter. But that doesn’t make them any less interesting. “Where I’m From”
is an older song of Anderson’s that paints a picture of his hometown including
parties on the state line, and “I Would” explains some things he regrets and
wishes he could do over differently. Each is personal and made more so by their
simplicity, which spotlights Anderson’s voice.
The first single off the new EP is “Wherever You Are,” which you can find on
YouTube, and is set to release this month. It was written with and inspired by
Anderson’s girlfriend. As one might expect, he wants to be where she is, but he
says it much more poetically with lyrics like “we can just talk to each other, kiss
one another and make our own love
songs.”
Besides working on the EP, Anderson
has been opening for acts such as
Sister Hazel and traveling to put
his self out there. He says he is not
looking forward to moving to Nashville
because he knows that everybody
there wants to do what he does, but he
does spend a few weeks there to work
on occasion. Right now, he is happy
at home in Mississippi and traveling.
“This is where I’m from and I’m going
to keep doing what I’m doing and hope
somebody notices me,” says Anderson.
“[Country music] is a life story. It’s real; it hits you hard. It’s all about true passion to me”

Observing and Not Inventing
South Toward Home is a leisurely tour of the literary South and ten of its favorite
fiction-writing sons and daughters
Story by KATHERINE LEACHE
up front books
“ONE PLACE COMPREHENDED,” EUDORA WELTY
wrote in On Writing, “helps us understand all
places better.” South Toward Home, a collection
of eight essays about ten Southern writers and places with
which they and their writing are identified, is a fascinating
exploration of the palpable sense of place that pervades
so much of the greatest Southern literature. In essays both
personal and atmospheric — as well as gently scholarly
— Eby’s collection will appeal to any reader who has ever
wondered why the South has produced such a prodigious
number of great writers.
With chapters about Harper Lee and Truman Capote, John
Kennedy Toole, Harry Crews, and Flannery O’Connor, among
others, South Toward Home takes us through Mississippi, up
to Memphis, down to New Orleans, over to Alabama, through
Georgia, even touching down briefly in Gainesville, Florida.
Eby notes that her book describes a personal odyssey and
that “the ten writers on this journey…are the ones who
spoke to me most insistently as I tried to…answer that
echoing question, What is it about this place, exactly?”
In “Eudora Welty’s Garden,” we are introduced to Welty’s
Jackson, Mississippi. From the Mayflower Café to Bill’s Greek
Tavern to her own beloved family home and its impressive
gardens, Welty was so much a part of Jackson’s social and
civic life that she seems more its patron saint than simply
one of its most famous writers. Admirers could leave books
on the doorstep of her Pinehurst Street house and expect
to find them inscribed with a note from Miss Eudora the
next day. Stepping into her gracious and “almost unbearably
welcoming” home, Eby writes, “feels…like dropping into one
of her stories.”
Welty’s home, now owned and maintained by the Mississippi
Department of Archives and History, is fifteen minutes from
a vacant, grass-covered lot where Richard Wright’s childhood
home once stood. No marker alerts passers-by that one
of Mississippi’s greatest writers once lived there; fitting,
perhaps, since he died in 1960 and, being best known for
semiautobiographical work which cataloged the miserable
existence of an African-American child growing up in the
Jim Crow South, his home state did not exactly celebrate
his accomplishments while he was alive. Eby writes that
“the worlds that Welty and Wright lived in are as far apart
as it is possible to be while remaining in the same town.”
Wright moved to Memphis as a teenager before moving on

to Chicago. In Memphis he was able,
with a sympathetic white coworker’s
borrowed library card, to nourish his
blooming artistic and intellectual
spirit with books checked out from the
Cossitt Library in downtown Memphis.
The Cossitt branch is a still-operating
branch of the Memphis Public Library
whose association with a young
Wright earned it Tennessee’s first
literary landmark distinction from the
American Library Association.
Popping back down south, Eby visits
William Faulkner in his hometown
of Oxford, Mississippi. At St. Peter’s
Cemetery a few blocks from the
Square, visitors might find whiskey
bottles littering the Nobel Prize
winning author’s grave, a tribute
gift by late night visitors to the great
writer and his boozehound proclivities.
Faulkner’s Yoknapatawpha County,
a barely-fictional version of Oxford’s
Lafayette County, typifies the mystical
relationship between Southern writers
and sense of place. As Faulkner
described it to the Paris Review, his
“own little postage stamp of native
soil,” Oxford and its environs, was
more fertile literary ground than he
could ever hope to fully cultivate.
“Yoknapatawpha was that cosmos,
a place where Faulkner could fully
explore the grace and gallantries of his
South,” writes Eby.
South Toward Home is a wonderful
read for anyone with even a passing
interest in Southern literature or with
Southern regional identity in general.
Love it or hate it, there’s no denying the
South’s paradoxical conservatism and
weirdness. Eby observes that boutiques
across the South may have turned this
ethos into a cottage industry, selling
signs “with some variation of the
saying ‘In the South we don’t hide
crazy: We sit it on the porch and bring
it sweet tea!’” But that navel-gazing
corniness makes it no less true that for
many Southern writers, both dead and
living, their “postage stamp of native
soil” is fertile creative ground indeed.

IN HIS LAST DAYS, 66-YEAR-OLD BRUCE BRADY WISHED
for a world where the terminally ill could experience the
joy of one final hunt.
Brady, a resident of Brookhaven, Mississippi, and cancer
victim, found solace in hunting and fishing during his last
days in autumn of 1999. According to friends, it was the one
thing that offered an escape from the ravages of cancer. “I
became involved when our extension director at Mississippi
State University was asked if extension could assist a
gentleman who was then dying of cancer with an idea that
he had,” says Marty Brunson, CEO and founder of the Catch-
a-Dream Foundation. “That gentleman was Mr. Brady.”
Brady died in February of 2000, but his wish of a last hunt for
those living with terminal illness would live on in Brunson’s
Catch-a-Dream Foundation, a nonprofit group with a
headquarters that sits comfortably on a 43-acre patch of land
seven miles southwest of Starkville, Mississippi. Brady passed
away just two weeks after the initial planning sessions for
the group. “Ironically, I never knew Bruce,” Brunson says. “I
had been in the same room with him plenty of times, but I
never knew the man personally. But now, 15 years later, I feel
like I know him pretty well.” He had an idea, but not much
else. At that time, Brunson was working as extension leader
of wildlife and fisheries at Mississippi State. “The meeting
Chasing the DreamStarkville-based Catch-a-Dream Foundation makes ailing hunter’s hopes reality
Story by CASEY HILDER
between us never took place,” he says. “However, I did meet
with his family with a goal of continuing to shape his idea to
‘stand in the gap.’”
The “gap” Brunson refers to is the current policy of most
charitable wish-granting organizations, which places a strict
ban on firearms and hunting-related activities.
The group was formed in mid-2000 in conjunction with the
Brady family, the MSU-Extension Service, the Mississippi
Wildlife Federation and the Mississippi 4-H Clubs Foundation..

The program was run from the
Mississippi State University campus
from 2003 to 2012 before venturing
out on its own. “We currently operate
independently of the university by
design, not by any negative issues,” says
Brunson.
The organization currently hosts an
average of 40 children a year from 46
different states and Canada, though
Brunson says some years can see as
many as 60. “The number that we host
often depends on the application rate,”
he says. “For example, we just hosted
a black bear hunt in Wisconsin for a
young man, as well as 13 whitetail deer
hunts in Iowa coming up. We are, of
course, entering the busy season for us.”
Land for the hunts is offered up by
charter organizations and outfitters,
commercial folks who are in the
business of providing these services
for a fee. Because of its unpredictable
nature, the Catch-a-Dream Foundation
does not utilize private land.
Hunts have taken place as near as
Vicksburg to as far off as the Canadian
wilderness and nearly everywhere in
between. Youths are treated to grand,
once-in-a-lifetime hunts for game
like elk, whitetail and more. “We have
probably about 200-250 outfitters in our
database,” Brunson says. “Of course, we
don’t use all of those annually, but it’s
nice to have the backup.”
The organization hosts several annual
fundraising events, including the
annual Catch-a-Dream Bass Classic
every May, which is the second largest
Mississippi-based charity fishing event
behind the St. Jude Bass Classic.

FOWL PLAYFITCH FARMS DRAWS ‘BIG SHOTS, GOOD SHOTS’
Story by Robert Lee Long | Photos by Rory Doyle
58 OCTOBER 2015 | Click magazine
WFitch Farms, located on more than
8,000 sprawling acres in rural Marshall
County, draws scores of avid quail hunters
each year from around the globe.
Carved from the lands of the ancient
Chickasaw, the rolling red hills of this
region are home to coveys of abun-
dant wild quail. An old church, a Native
American burial ground and a number
of restored older buildings give Fitch
Farms its distinct historical character.
Beginning this month, Fitch Farms
celebrated quail hunts include some of
the nation’s top celebrities and high-
ranking government officials.
It’s often a mystery when a big-name
celebrity arrives at Fitch Farms, located
just outside Holly Springs.
Celebrities and locals alike are guaran-
teed privacy, comfort and relaxation in
the rustic, rural retreat tucked away in
the hills of northwest Mississippi.
Like any major “whodunnit,” it’s often
a question of who pulled the trigger
when “fowl play” is concerned.
Many of the world’s rich and famous
can say they have squeezed off many a
shot at Fitch Farms.
“United States Supreme Court Justice
Antonin Scalia hunts out here every
year,” said Jerry Fitch, nephew of Fitch
Farms owner and founder W.O. “Bill”
Fitch, the Fitch family patriarch.
“Governor Haley Barbour and Governor
Phil Bryant have hunted out there along
with Paul Maholm of the Atlanta Braves
and Jonathan Papelbon, formerly of the
Boston Red Sox and now of the Philadel-
phia Phillies. Maholm , who grew up in
Holly Springs, brings a crew of profes-
sional baseball players out here every
year. You never know who is hunting
out there.”
Fitch Farms features a mixture of
release quail and quail grown on the
property, according to Fitch. The flora
and fauna of pristine prairie lands, open
fields teeming with native grasses and
weeds and clusters of pine and hard-
wood thickets offer perfect cover for
quail, just waiting to be flushed out by
able bird dogs and keen marksmen.
“Uncle Bill pretty much runs it as it
was run 200 years ago,” said Jerry Fitch.
In fact, quail hunting runs in the fam-
ily bloodline, according to Fitch.
Fitch, 55, is a fourth-generation hunter.
“Uncle Bill has pieced together what
they call the original Galena Plantation,”
Fitch said. “He inherited some of it and
bought some of it.”
Fitch said his uncle is a source of inspi-
ration for the entire extended Fitch clan.
The love for the great outdoors has
been instilled in the younger generation
of Fitches as well.
“He has grandchildren who hunt out
there and even great-grandchildren
who will one day be old enough to
hunt,” Fitch said.
Bill Fitch’s daughter and Jerry Fitch’s
first cousin, is Mississippi State Treasurer
Lynn Fitch.
“I have such special memories,” Lynn
Fitch said from her office across the
Whether you’re a “big shot” or just a “good shot,” Fitch Farms is the place to go for some of the world’s best quail hunting. In fact, they have a saying at Fitch Farms that “no finer quail hunting is known to man or dog.”

street from the eagle-topped dome of
the State Capitol in Jackson. “We would
always saddle up our horses and ride on
Sunday afternoons. Even as a child, it
was so beautiful. So open. It’s 23like tak-
ing a step back in time. It’s so wonderful
and so peaceful. What Daddy has done
to piece it all together has been incred-
ible. It’s something that a lot of people
don’t get a chance to enjoy.”
Both Lynn Fitch and Jerry Fitch say
that Bill Fitch’s stamina and passion for
hunting and history is unsurpassed.
“He’s 82 but he’s one of the first ones
up in the morning,” Jerry Fitch said.
More than a decade ago, Bill Fitch
disassembled and reassembled the log
home of former Confederate General
Nathan Bedford Forrest on site. That
handsome structure, moved to Holly
Springs from Hernando, is now Bill
Fitch’s private residence.
Bill Fitch, the family patriarch of the
famed Fitch family of Marshall County,
said each log was lovingly restored.
“It was the first house that he ever lived
in,” Fitch said. “It was built of cypress
logs and we moved it in sections.”
Deer and wild turkey also abound on
the property, according to Fitch. Quail is
still the largest draw.
“When I was growing up, we didn’t
hunt anything but quail,” Fitch said.
“Now, we are covered up with deer and
turkey.”
Fitch has fond memories of hunting
with his father, T.B. Fitch on the old
family property. It was those memories
which prompted Bill Fitch to piece
together the old plantation again.”
“Even as a child, it was so beautiful. So
open. It’s like taking a step back in time. It’s so wonderful and so
peaceful”
60 OCTOBER 2015 | Click magazine
“After World War II, it (Galena Planta-
tion) was sold,” Fitch said. “Daddy had
four sons and one daughter. We moved
to town.”
Bill Fitch himself worked in the corpo-
rate world before moving back to Holly
Springs and enjoying hunting again.
It was the recollection of champion-
ship bird dog field trials from days gone
by that often brings pleasure to Fitch.
“I’ve won the Field Trial Championship
over at Grand Junction several times,”
Fitch said. “My bird dog ‘Hitchhiker’ won
it 40 years ago. There’s a statue of him at
Ames Plantation.”
Fitch said field trials are held at Fitch
Farms each December. in addition to
field trials and quail hunts, accom-
modations for corporate retreats and
special events are also available.
Guests can retire in the evenings in
one of six recently-restored Civil War
era cabins.
After a day of hunting quail, famished
guests can dine on a gourmet meal of
wild game and delicious five-star des-
serts, prepared by professional chefs
on staff.
Fitch added that Fitch Farms has a
warm bed, a good meal and cold steel
within the easy grasp of any avid quail
hunter.
Guests typically arrive at Fitch Farms
Galena Plantation the afternoon before
the hunt. Check-in time is 4:30 p.m. Cock-
tails and a scrumptious gourmet meal
are to follow. A hearty country breakfast,
followed by a round of shooting sporting
clays whet the hunter’s appetite for an
invigorating wildlife experience during
morning and afternoon hunts.
Guides and dogs are available, accord-
ing to Fitch. “We have class act dogs
and renowned trainers,” Fitch said. “Of
course, you have to have a lot of quail
for a successful hunt. We naturally have
some quail on the place but we put out
more than 25,000 quail each year. My
“We have class act dogs and renowned
trainers ... Of course, you have to have a lot of quail for a successful hunt”

Kirkwood Golf Course.

located approximately 10 miles south-
west of downtown Holly Springs.

North Mississippi’s Hidden Escape
WALL DOXEY STATE PARK
Story by Tonya Thompson | Photos by John Hoffman
76 OCTOBER 2015 | Click magazine
Named after a U.S. Representative and Senator from Mississippi, Wall Doxey State Park is one of the nine original parks built in the state by the Civilian Conservation Corps. Located 7 miles south of Holly Springs and 24 miles north of Oxford, the area surrounding Wall Doxey is easily one of the most beautiful locations in the state and is part of Holly Springs National Forrest. Wall Doxey’s centerpiece is a 60-acre, spring-fed lake, providing getaway options for fishing, camping, hiking, family activities and more. To learn more about the park, visit the website of the Mississippi Department of Wildlife, Fisher-ies and Parks at mdwfp.com, or email the park ranger at [email protected].
78 OCTOBER 2015 | Click magazine
LodgingWith nine air-conditioned cabins providing views of the surrounding forest or lake, Wall Doxey State Park offers accommodations for up to seven persons per cabin. Most cabins feature screened porches for the perfect spot to soak in the natural surroundings of the park. They also have fireplaces and Direct TV if you decide to move indoors for a while for entertainment. Since the cabins are booked frequently, reserva-tions are strongly recommended. In addition to the cabins, there is a two-bedroom cottage also available to rent.
ActivitiesThere are 40 picnic sites with grills and tables, many with a great view of the lake and beneath large trees. There are also four pavilions to seat larger groups for family reunions and church or school outings, and all require advanced reservation for use.
If you’re in the mood for activity before or after picnicking, Wall Doxey State Park provides numerous options. There’s a 2½ mile trail that goes around the lake that provides a shaded, low-impact hike. For a little friendly competi-tion, try one or both disc golf courses available in the park: Spring Creek and Turkey Hollow. While the disc courses are free and open to the public, an entrance fee of $4 per vehicle is required to get into the park.

THE COMPETITIONA lot of the competition is structured
around the eponymous Colt single action
army, a six-shot revolver that saw soaring
popularity in the Old West and a pleth-
ora of Hollywood films. However, rifles
and shotguns also have a place in the
shooting competition. “I’d say we’re look-
ing at about 20 percent serious competi-
tive shooters out here,” says “Tennessee
Whiskey” a two-year SASS competition
veteran and Jackson, Tennessee, native.
“The rest of us are just out here to have
a good time.”
Participants are judged for speed and
accuracy with a variety of firearms
across 10 “stages.”
“This is the 15th year of Rabbit Ridge,”
says Jerry McDaniel, AKA “Sawyer,” a
shooting school instructor and member
of the North Alabama Regulators. “This
particular club was started by Easy Lee
and Casino Player, two well-known
shooters in the area. I’ve never met a
group so friendly. If I break a gun – which
sometimes happens – you’ll find at least
a dozen cowboys ready to lend you one.”
While Sawyer professes that he
doesn’t participate for the thrill of the
contest, there are those like “Sidekick,”
a 31-year-old regional champion who
has become a local legend in his own
right, currently ranked fourth in the
world for speed shooting. At this year’s
competition, Sidekick put on a remark-
able revolver show that saw five shots
on five different targets in less than a
second. “These young kids with their
good eye sight, muscle coordination and
reflexes, they can smoke this old man,”
says Sawyer.
LOOKING THE PARTSASS tradition dictates that shooters
adopt an alias and a costume or outfit
appropriate to a name or profession in
the Old West. Match proceedings are
overseen by coordinator Susan Hatcher,
known to fellow shooters as “Oglala
AAA series of gunshots cracks
the through the air, followed by the several plinks of a metal target and clinking of shell cas-ings. A brief silence is ushered in with a cloud of black-powder gunsmoke and the chatter of a crowd of hundreds at Rabbit Ridge, a sprawling valley that became a shrine to all things Old West during May of this year. This is the annual shooting match for the Mississippi River Rangers, a SASS (Single Action Shooting Society) club.

Sue,” a motherly maven outfitted in full
Old-West regalia who enforces safety
and order in the raucous and smoky
setting surrounding the contest. “Every-
body’s got their own look, just like the
old cowboys,” says Jim Hastings, event
sponsor and owner of Hasting’s Holsters.
“Whether it’s a certain look or a certain
vest, a lot of what you see at these
competitions is 100 percent custom
made.”
Embroidered hat bands, chaps, 10-gal-
lon hats and more are par for the course
for participants. Pins and patches are
proudly displayed on fringed vests,
celebrating renowned shooters and
icons like Roy Rogers and Dale Evans.
And of course, no outfit would be com-
plete without a proper holster. “I make
holsters and belts for the individuals
personally,” says Hastings. “Whether
it’s for a male or female. Sometimes it’s
ornately done leather, sometimes it’s
a simpler piece. It all depends on the
cowboy.” And with a wide selection of
custom leather craftsmanship including
knife sheathes, gun belts, badge hold-
ers and bandoliers, the competition
provides an ample avenue for local
artisans to display their work. After all,
lots of leather goes into making a cow-
boy look like a cowboy. “I had a guy
ask me once ‘Are you a cowboy?’,”
says Hastings. “I told him ‘Well, I want
to look like one, not work like one.’”

OLD WEST, NEW WORLDThere’s a degree of theatrics applied to
the yearly competition, with grandiose
sets inspired by classic Western films
and smoky ghost towns. The competi-
tion area is carefully crafted to resemble
a dusty shantytown, complete with
wooden storefronts that recall an older
time or, perhaps, the set of an early Clint
Eastwood movie. The day begins with a
rousing session of Cowboy Church, an
evangelical-meets-anachronism style
sermon featuring sage wisdom from
old cowboys and a unique method of
praise to motivate participants. Cowboy
Church sets the tone for the rest of the
day, with cordial interactions and an
accommodating air in place of a fierce,
solitary competitive spirit.

A FAMILY TRADITIONYoungsters earn the respect of adults
through sheer trigger skill. Competitors
as young as 9 and as old as 90 have been
known to try their hand at shooting, with
many being trained by fathers and grand-
fathers and inducted with an elaborate

Falling Into Place
The start of a new school year and the onset of fall provides the perfect
excuse to throw a party

PLACE & PLANNINGA Sunday afternoon is the perfect
time to entertain for several reasons:
This day of the week never seems
as filled with activities for folks like
the other poplar weekend options.
A late afternoon event is also
budget-friendly when it comes to
the menu because you don’t have
to serve a full meal.
FOOD & FUNWe chose to do appetizers and
sweets with coffee punch and tea
from 3 to 5 p.m. Wade and Company
created the appetizers and Nothing
Bundt Cakes provided the desserts
for our “Bundt Bar” which was a
huge hit!
The menu included Thai Shrimp
Votives with Mae Ploy sauce,
goat cheese tarts with sun-dried
tomatoes and basil pesto, bacon
wrapped dates, and Mediterranean
chicken salad along with a
Mississippi Caviar dip and tortilla
chips..The “Bundt Bar” doubled as
decor and dessert and became the
focal point of the entire party. Guests
were able to choose from bundtini’s,
bundtlets and traditional slices of
bundt cake — all in different delicious
flavors! I added some DIY chalk board
party picks to personalize it and
incorporate the theme once again.
DÉCOR & MOREThe modern fall florals were done
by Holliday’s and added just the
right professional touch and fall
color to the party. We added some
DIY chalk board banners and the
school letters to incorporate our
back to school theme.
Guests were given “Painted Cookies”
as a parting gift that also carried out
our theme.
By utilizing a few local professionals
and adding some DIY touches,
you can throw a party just like this
effortlessly! All it takes is a little
planning and the right resources.
Here is our list to help you get
started!
Whether you are entertaining new friends or just itching to get out the fall decorations,
here is a sweet little shindig to offer some inspiration and add a twist to traditional fall decor.
