I have that movie in my mind tonight. Bob Lee Swagger is a character I can relate with. My favorite lines:
Bob Lee Swagger: Welcome to Tennessee, patron state of shootin' stuff.
Bob Lee Swagger: I don't really like the President much. Didn't like the one before that, much, either.
Colonel Isaac Johnson: You like the idea of the President, living in a free country. Do we allow America to be ruled by thugs?
Bob Lee Swagger: Sure, some years we do.
Bob Lee Swagger: I don't think you understand, these boys killed my dog

I forgot that one. That was when he was talking to "Mr. Rate", the late Levon Helm.
Another I like is "I'm just a peckerwood who lives in the hills with too many guns."

You should read the book it was taken from Point of Impact. I couldn't put it down. "You don't hunt Bob Lee he hunts you."

There is a whole series of books on the Swagger family. Started with Bobby Lee's Daddy Earl, then on to Bobby Lee. There actually was a Swagger from that area that Hunter based his book on. And I do believe that his name was Earl.

1993: Point of Impact
1994: Dirty White Boys
1996: Black Light
1998: Time To Hunt
2000: Hot Springs
2001: Pale Horse Coming
2003: Havana
2007: The 47th Samurai
2008: Night Of Thunder
Word of caution...don't expect the story and the movie to be the same. They are not. Both are good in their own right, but entirely different.
