A NICE VIEW OF A SMALL BUNCH OF DEER
By S. C. Turnbo
One who was born and reared in Marion County, Ark., furnished the writer
this account. "I have met several herds of deer in the hills of Marion
County, especially on Trimble Creek," said Mr. William Trimble, son
of Allin Trimble, "But the most charming sight of deer I ever had of
deer was one morning before sunrise in 1867 while I and my brother, Milt
Trimble, were living on the old Asa Yocum farm opposite Bull Bottom when
14 deer come out of the forest into the lane and stopped at the salt lick
near the house where Mr. Yocum had salted his cattle and horses for several
years. Though it was common to meet deer bunched together in the hills but
the sight of so many of them entering a lane so near a dwelling house was
rarely met with."
