I read an interesting opinion on that. It was said that after his death his dog was found to be unfed and very hungry. Folks said they could see Ward committing suicide, but no way would he have left his dog to go hungry.

Shortly before his death, he went by Peeples Hardware and gave them his guns and I think some of his decoys to settle up his account. A member of the Peeples family still owned the guns until recently and another friend owns them now.

Mills, since you're in that area you probably know Roger Pinckney? He's one of my favorite writers and in fact it was his review of the book and movie that prompted me to seek them out. Nice guy too; I've exchanged a few emails with him.

I know of him, but have never met him. I hope to meet him someday.

I believe Roger Pinckney lives on Dafusque Island, just off Hilton head.

Supposedly he did much of his duck shooting with a big ol' 4-bore of some kind. He had a 12-bore Greener and a 12 bore Scott which he used for "jump shooting, pond shooting or field shooting". After breaking up the ducks with the 4-bore he had a seven shot 12-bore auto which he used "as they got off the water". There's a photo in the book but it's grainy and dark; hard to make out any particulars.
