| Tony "Big T" Richards |
I was hanging around Creedmoor, in
Grenville County, North Caroline; in my effort to confirm the name of my present location,
I asked a young man what is the name of this place. After the young man left, an
older fellow by the name of Tony Richards AKA Big T, came over to where I was
and told me he overheard me asking where I was. He then gave me all the
information I need about the environment. He also gives me a lesson on hunting.
He said ever since he was a child he hunted. However although he go out with
the hunting party, He have not kill anything for a while.
He further explained that between
Novembers to January is call rut. This is when the Deer go through their mating
period. He describes the territorial behavior of the male in order to win the
affection and the right to mate with particular female.
Toney who is from a small town
call Stem in Granville County, explain that there is only three business place
in Stem, a general store a gestation and the newest addition to the commercial
life of Stem is a Dollar General. He also told me that having a Dollar General
is a big thing in Stem.
Tony farms with his uncles in the Summer months and hunt deer in the
winter. In the summer the crop of choice
is Fescue grass that is use to make hay. Big T explained how that grass
is dried and wind row, piled, collected and stocked as well as all of the other
procedure and hard work that is required to make hay. I learn a lot just
listening to Tony’s stories.
