My Dad and his Dad used to hunt squirrel, pheasant and rabbit for food, everyday, in Emigsville, PA, back in the late-20s & 30s. With a 10ga, single barrel. I have that firearm now, in my collection.
I WAS RAISED BY MY GRANDPARENTS ON A NORTH WOODS FARM BUILT BY MY GREAT GRANDFATHER IN 1848.
GRAMPA WAS A MAINE GUIDE - UNCLES AND COUSINS GAME WARDENS, GUIDE.
OUR FOODS CAME FROM THE LAND, THE WOODS, THE WATERS, BARNS AND HEN HOUSES.
AND THANK YOU GOD.
(and a few years ago, at age 80, I attended classes for my CC. I was the only woman in the classes. I outshot them all. ;) ..)
