- Summary
- In Winyah Bay, near Georgetown, South Carolina, the Caines family is known for three things: fishing, hunting and hell-raising. Jerry Caines and his younger brother Roy, the Caines boys, grew up following the untamed example of their grandfather, Hucks Caines, and great-uncles--collectively known as the Caines brother who were renowned hunting guides at Hobcaw Barony. In this book, follow two generations of hell-raising Caineses as they achieve lasting fame carving duck decoys (now collectible and worth thousands), guiding hunters in Hobcaw Barony, fishing for shad and telling tall tales of their misadventures--often staring smack down the barrel of a rifle, and getting away with it just the same. From Hucks, Sawney, Ball, Bob and Pluty to Jerry and Roy, hunting and fishing in South Carolina will never be the same.
