Tracy,
There are three framed photos of Mr. Rutledge on the wall at Backwoods Quail Club. One of the pictures has Mr. Rutledge posing with a deer he harvested. One gentleman at the club told me that all the years Mr. Rutledge hunted he never could harvest a buck. He said that the horns in the picture were probably screwed on. Don't know if that is true or not. One of the other pictures has him on a bird hunt and looks to be a "P" grade Parker he is holding.
