Old Man Hawkins was a larger-than-life character among deer hunters, or — more precisely — among tellers and hearers of tall tales. His self-proclaimed method of hunting deer by holding a mirror in one hand and his rifle in the other — pointing backward over a shoulder — was, he said, “to be fair to the deer.”

It was a story, Davis tells us, that would occupy his father on the drive to Grandma’s house.
