Novacaine,
Did anyone ever follow up with Son Jordan about the old 8mm footage of the Scatters hunts from the 1950's? I thought about this the other day. I'm not sure that the 8mm film would even be in working condition now if they had been kept in his attic for all those years but I'd give anything to see them and let Mr. Son give a play by play. I even mentioned their possible existence to Tate Wood last year and he seemed exited to know that this old footage of a Scatters duck hunt may exist but as far as I know he never followed up on it. I or someone else, REALLY NEEDS to follow up on this. Mr. Son is no spring chicken and time is slowly running out to even possibly have the opportunity to view this footage.

I've been gone from clarksdale a while and have not been around that crowd in a good while.

When you said big un. That brought back a few memories of some good times. That guy is fun to be around. It's been at least 10 years since I've even seen one of his sons. Crazy drunken times

Mr Son is currently occupied with caring for his wife that is suffering back problems and told me to give him two weeks and try again.

Bump a great thread since the month starting duck season is upon us...

[Deltamud77]

Bumping it again...my favorite thread on this site. Enjoy.

I always knew my dad hunted the scatters some growing up. I knew he had jordan calls and what not. He would tell me a little about it because he knew that one or two times a year I would go that way and hunt public. Well a few years back he gave me some stuff at Christmas. I got to going through it and there were tons of duck stamps signed from people that lived in that area. Turns out that my grandad either ran or owned some type of equipment store that sold duck stamps. Back then apparently when people got their new stamps they just threw these on the counter to dispose of. I took a bunch of the stamps and other older duck hunting stuff and bought a table to protect these older stamps.

Fast forward to reading this thread and I decided to go look at who all names I recognized. I saw several that were CM Jordan duck stamps from late 60's early 70's. Also found Frankie Tominello and Johnny Barrett duck stamps. Since I didn't live there I have to see the names to even know how to make out some of these signatures

Also mentioned in this article was the JT Beckhart calls. Well he gave me several calls that same Christmas. I got to looking the calls up and started researching them and low and behold was a four panel checkered Beckhart Call. He had no clue what he had. Well with having small children and not wanting to be responsible that call got out of my house rather quickly
