It seemed a part of Mr. Mac's equipment, something almost as indispensable as his pump gun that the weather should be paralyzing. Mr. Mac wearing his one leather jacket and a shell vest , never felt the cold. He could stand for hours in Winter rain and never feel it. He could stand rain like a boulder." Rankin also wrote, "we know Oscar McDade is the dean of and master of shooting strategy. Wherever Alabama sportsmen meet, reaching back for their ______ and anecdotes, he is likely to dominate the conversation as though he were present." Rankin also wrote, "If there is a creek, pond, puddle or hog wallow in all South Alabama that Oscar McDade does not know intimately, we aren't going out looking for it now. His six foot of brawn and muscle, rearing a 12 gauge pump gun has stood on every dove field worth shooting over. His seven- ____ hip boots moving in lengthy and tireless cadence, have traversed every palmettoed snipe marsh."
