Keeping Pace with Steve Cobb
By
DaWayne Spires
Union, South Carolina is a quiet
little town in the upstate that flows as peaceful and unhindered as
its neighbor, the Tyger River. The people of Union do not let the
worries of the world today conflict with the way they live their
lives. The only worry most folks have is finding a parking space at
the Friday night football games. In Union, there is time for
everything, and everything has its own time. They believe this is
God’s country and it was made to be shared with family and friends.
The folks of Union have never met a stranger. Everyone has a pace
all their own that dictates their life, except maybe Steve Cobb. The
steam rolling 42 year old employee of the United States Forest
Service is wide open compared to most folks in Union. His zest for
life touches more than just his everyday routine; it is rooted deep
in his love for the outdoors. Being a six-time S.C. state turkey
calling champion and the current S.C. State Chapter President of the
National Wild Turkey Federation are just a few of the ways Steve’s
intense love of the outdoors has manifested itself.

I Can’t Whisper
By DaWayne Spires
Looking at DaWayne, the outdoorsman, in relationship to my
accomplishments in the great outdoors, I find am not without merit.
I proudly display a trophy buck on my office wall. The year after
the dam burst at Lake Blackshear and everyone said that there were
no fish in the lake; I took my largest bass, a fat eight and half
pounder. I have successfully hunted piney wood rooters with nothing
but my pistol. Dove and quail have both found their way in to my
game pouch on trips afield in the fall. Unfortunately there is a
deficiency in my outdoors resume; a deficiency that has been
explained to me in no uncertain terms. The missing element on my
resume is the wild turkey. My problem in the obtaining this missing
element is that I can’t whisper.
