Can't recall the coolest thing I've found, but here's the coolest thing I've seen: About 4 years ago dukbum and I were hunting on the side on the levee at the camp when the river was way up. Ducks had been laying up against the side of the levee every day for 2 weeks. He and I set up laying down on the levee with fastgrass pulled over us and my dog in his finisher dog blind. Keep in mind the river was up so high that the Yazoo was at least a half mile wide at this point and the current in the main channel was STRONG. Well, I'm laying there listening to dukbum run his mouth and spill his whole life story (just waitin' on him to pronounce his homosexuality). Right at sunrise we see these 2 'things' swimming toward us, but it was dark enough we couldnt tell what it was. They get closer and closer and we're trying to decide just exactly what it was, thinking maybe it was 2 geese we layed as still as we could. I look over my shoulder and see Reagan peeking out his blind locked in on these 2 things. The closer they get, the weirder they look. finally they reach the edge of the blocks and we figure it out... it was a doe and her fawn. They had swam the entire width of the river from Delta National. They were so tired by the time they reached us, they started stumbling trying to get up the levee. We both sat up in shock as these 2 deer struggled to climb the levee a mere 15 yards away. It took the fawn a good 10 minutes to reach the top. The neat thing was the momma doe saw us and knew we were there, but she stood right by the fawn's side the whole time keeping an eye on us.
